Organic Certification of Bread Wheat Using Stable Nitrogen Isotopes
This paper studies which parts of the plant are most suitable for analyzing d15N in fertilization studies of wheat crops, both conventional and organic.
Business Relations and Occupational Risk Prevention. Module VIII
This teaching manual, "Module VII. Business Relations and Occupational Risk Prevention," addresses aspects related to the fiscal, social, and labor reality of farmers and ranchers, enabling them to understand and optimize their decisions within the legal framework of the agricultural sector in which they choose to establish themselves.
Pasture management in the dehesa
This manual addresses issues related to the main types of pastures, their productive potential, and their important ecological role. Unit 1 covers the characteristics and proper management of herbaceous pastures in the dehesa, as well as guidelines for addressing currently available improvement approaches and decision-making support.
Seedbed Management in Integrated Production
This document aims to demonstrate the specific requirements of a vegetable seedbed for establishing an Integrated Production system, keeping in mind that the ultimate goal of a seedbed is the production of vigorous, healthy plants with strong roots and maximum utilization of the seeds used.
Life cycle analysis of cherry tomato production systems in the Mediterranean area
This study identified and studied the main environmental problems attributable to different cherry tomato cultivation systems in the Mediterranean region throughout their life cycle. The plastic greenhouse system had the greatest environmental impact in all categories evaluated, due to the greater impact exerted by the materials comprising its infrastructure.
Organic Certification of Chickpeas Using Stable Nitrogen Isotopes
This document presents the results obtained for the differentiation, by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), of chickpeas of the Fardón variety, grown in two different soils and with different types of fertilizer, some suitable for conventional cultivation and others for organic cultivation.
Technical evaluation of the effect of working pressure on phytosanitary applications with a manual spray lance on greenhouse tomato crops.
This document presents a technical evaluation of three phytosanitary applications carried out with a manual spray lance at different working pressures (20 bar, 15 bar and 10 bar), determining the quantity of sprayed product that falls on the plant mass, the uniformity of the distribution of the applied product on the plant and the losses to the soil of the sprayed product generated, with the ai
Traditional Irrigation Systems in Andalusia: Definition, Characterization, Values and Problems
This document defines historical or traditional irrigation systems, characterizes them, lists their values, and addresses their current problems. Traditional irrigation systems, in addition to providing productive value that generates economic growth and employment, provide significant ecosystem services and are of special social, heritage, landscape, and historical importance.
Use of Climate Sensors in Greenhouse Crops
This document describes in a simple way the technical foundations for measuring the main climate sensors that can be incorporated into greenhouse horticulture to understand and respond to the factors that determine crop growth and development. It also provides some recommendations for their correct use.
Organic Orange Certification Using Stable Isotopes of Nitrogen and Carbon
This document analyzes the suitability of the d15N stable isotope analytical technique for differentiating between organically produced and conventionally produced oranges. It also examines which part of the fruit best identifies this difference.
The Quality of Organic Plant Products: An Updated Review.
This document analyzes published scientific information on the quality of organic products versus conventionally grown products from a health perspective, focusing specifically on how the cultivation system influences the antioxidant and vitamin content of the most commonly grown fruits and vegetables in Andalusia.
Technology of ecological greenhouses on the Almería and Granada coast
This study describes the main characteristics of organic greenhouses located on the coast of Almería and Granada, based on a survey of 150 organic vegetable producers in the study area. Specifically, it describes the main technologies used by producers in their greenhouses, and finally compares organic and conventional production systems.
Almond irrigation app: a tool for managing irrigation in almond trees
The document describes and demonstrates the benefits of the Almond Irrigation App, a decision-making tool for farmers and technicians in the irrigated almond sector.
Potential of Local Varieties for the Improvement of Durum Wheat
Durum wheat in Andalusia is primarily grown in a Mediterranean environment characterized by seasonal rainfall, a high probability of drought at the end of the cycle, and dry conditions during grain development. These conditions pose a significant risk, as both drought and heat can produce significant yield reductions.
Microwave Application for Improving the Quality of Red Wines
The use of microwaves is an emerging technology in the food industry. The IFAPA Rancho de la Merced team has applied this technology to the red winemaking process to enhance maceration during the alcoholic fermentation stage.
Development of Sinapis alba subsp. Mairei and glucosinolate production with different sowing rates and fertilizer types
This work evaluates different sowing doses of Sinapis alba and the appropriate fertilization strategies to maximize plant development and glucosinolate content of this species, so that it is effective when used as a plant cover for biofumigation.
Comparative economic study of olive grove soil management with and without agro-environmental aid
The Andalusian Rural Development Program 2014-2020 has included Measure 10 "Agri-Environment and Climate" and a series of submeasures; specifically, Submeasure 10.1.
Sustainable woody cropping systems. Vine cultivation. Operation 10.1
This document is addressed to those holding vineyards benefiting from aid under the Agro-Environment and Climate measure. Its objective is to inform and educate them about the mandatory requirements to be met, as well as how to explain the reasons for this aid and the intended purpose, in order to understand the reasons for these specific requirements and commitments.
Compatibility of the presence of game fauna with other uses in the pasture
This manual provides a brief description of the main wildlife species targeted for hunting in Andalusia's dehesa formations and describes how some actions can be taken to promote the compatibility of agricultural, livestock, and hunting activities in dehesa farms.
