This publication is a compilation of Operational Groups and Innovative Projects on improvements in the management of forest farms in Spain and Europe.
The Technical Dossier no. 123: “Grups operatius a Catalunya. Call 2018” is dedicated to the Groups Operatius developed within the framework of the CAP Strategic Plan (PEPAC 2023-2027), and includes the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems, also linked to AKIS (Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System).
Practical guide on soil management and soil health from the SOILBIO project
Guide to provide farmers with knowledge about the interactions that occur in the soil in relation to its biodiversity and how these influence fertility and resilience depending on the agricultural practices used by the farmer.
A set of Kabuli chickpea ecotypes was evaluated in two different locations for the variables flowering date, plant height, first pod emergence date, dry grain yield, dry grain relative humidity, test weight, and 100-seed weight. The experimental design was a randomized block with three replicates. The results of the statistical analyses performed are presented in the document.
A wide range of fungi are capable of producing different types of mycotoxins. In the case of aflatoxins, the most well-known producing fungi are of the Aspergillus genus. Corn is among the most affected crops.
Results of the agronomic behavior and response to the parasitic plant Orobanche crenata of a total of thirteen Andalusian local varieties of broad beans.
Lacewings are insects that are part of the complex of beneficial arthropods that prey on crop pests. Diversity has been shown to be a fundamental tool for maintaining this beneficial arthropod fauna and protecting crops from pest attacks. This work is part of a larger study whose main objective is to document the biodiversity of useful arthropods in protected horticulture in Almería.
Diffuse nitrate pollution from agricultural activities has been identified as one of the main causes of the poor condition of both surface and inland water bodies, as well as groundwater.
A study on the impact on biodiversity in four farms in the Seville countryside, where four different types of multifunctional margins have been established on farms with cereal-sunflower-legume rotations in the Lower Guadalquivir valley. Particular attention is paid to soil arthropod fauna and pollinators.
This study aimed to determine whether there is variability in the green canopy trait within a collection of 21 chickpea ecotypes. The experiment was carried out on a farm in the municipality of El Carpio (Córdoba) during the 2021/2022 agricultural season. The statistical design of the trial was randomized blocks with three replications.
Unit 1 describes in detail the role of trees in this system, sets out the process of natural tree regeneration, as well as the factors that promote and hinder it in the dehesa, and characterizes the state of tree regeneration in the dehesa in Andalusia.
This paper aims to provide some key insights into improving irrigation management in Andalusian avocado cultivation. Irrigation and proper water resource management are critical factors for maintaining crop viability and long-term sustainability in the face of current water scarcity and future climate change forecasts.
In Andalusia, olive groves with slopes greater than 20 represent 26.8 of the total olive grove area, including areas with limited land use due to a combination of factors such as altitude and slope, and which are unprofitable, leading to a high risk of abandonment for this crop in Andalusia.
In December 2015, a network of hedges with native shrub plants was established around several greenhouses at the IFAPA La Mojonera Center (Almería). These plantings constitute measures to improve biodiversity in the intensive horticulture landscape. One of the insect groups that can benefit from these interventions are dragonflies, which appear spontaneously on these plants and are predatory.
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.
Farm size, fragmentation, and dispersion affect profitability. Despite this, there are no studies that analyze these variables together; virtually all of them focus on farm size. The optimal proportion of fixed costs for machinery used in farm management can only be achieved when farms reach a certain minimum size. This fact is analyzed through the edge effect.
This document, catalogued as teaching material, is the reference manual to be used in the Integrated Production of Oilseeds and Grain Legumes courses. This document, structured into five teaching units, addresses the minimum knowledge required to obtain the qualification as an Integrated Production Technician for Oilseeds and Grain Legumes. Unit 1: Integrated Production.
The objective was to evaluate the effect of irrigation canal systems on pollinator abundance. Insect abundance and pollination were highest in traditional irrigation ditches, but progressively decreased in intermediate and piped irrigation ditches.
The objective is to facilitate the various procedures for accessing plant genetic resources conserved ex situ at IFAPA, as established in Royal Decree 429/2020, of March 3.
