The implementation of soil conservation measures is essential to promote sustainable crop production in the Mediterranean region. In an organic rainfed almond orchard located Lanjarón (SE, Spain), a study carried out during 2016–2021 analyzed influence different management strategies (SMSs) (TT, traditional tillage; NT, no VF, cover Vicia faba; VS, sativa; VS-VE, sativa and ervilia) on some selected physical (bulk density, available water content, aggregate stability), chemical (pH,...
Mango is one of the most cultivated tropical fruits worldwide and few drought-tolerant plants. Thus, in this study effect a sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) strategy on mango yield quality was assessed with aim reducing water crop. A randomized block design four treatments developed: (i) full (FI), assuring crop’s needs, three levels SDI receiving 75%, 50%, 33% (SDI75, SDI50, SDI33). Yield, morphology, color, titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), organic acids (OA), sugars,...
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important fruit crops in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. On coast Granada Malaga (SE Spain), irrigated species have been introduced cultivated on terraces with a considerable economic importance as only European production region. The this zone possible intensive irrigation terraces, which are economically more profitable than traditional rainfed (almond olive), replaced or abandoned. A 2-year monitoring period was conducted using...

The demand for aromatic and medicinal plants (AMPs) is growing worldwide, most of them are from the wild collection. Today there a consensus that industrial purposes AMPs must be cultivated. Many studies have shown importance collection strategy used to guarantee plant regeneration, soil protection against erosion process in mountainous areas Mediterranean region. In this work, during three-year monitoring period we compared four two harvest strategies by cutting biomass 25% (BHI25) 50%...
Surface runoff and subsurface flow patterns were monitored in hillside plots almond olive orchards with soils covered spontaneous plants over two hydrological years. The experimental located on the south flank of Sierra Nevada (Lanjarón, SE Spain) at 580 m a.s.l. an area 40 m2 (10 × 4 m). surface discharge collected measured different soil depths (0, 5, 10, 25, 50 cm), dissolved nutrient concentrations (NO3–N, NH4–N, PO4–P, K) determined. According to findings, pathways drained most rainfall...
La descomposición de la hojarasca es una las principales vías consumo energía en un ecosistema y uno los pilares básicos el ciclo nutrientes. Por otro lado, últimas décadas, cultivos subtropicales se han expandido forma considerable costa Granada (sureste España). Para evaluar dichos ciclos llevó a cabo ensayo con bolsas utilizando para ello hojas mango (Mangifera indica L.), chirimoyo (Annona cherimola Mill.), aguacate (Persea americana Mill.) níspero (Eriobotrya japonica L.). El objetivo...
The soil-management system in agricultural lands could be affected substantially on dynamics of CO2 fluxes from soil. An experiment was carried out Lanjarón (SE Spain) to evaluate the effect three systems almond plantations: 1) minimum tillage with spontaneous vegetation strips (MTSV), 2) and thyme (Thymbra capitata L.) (MTT), 3) without plant (MT). emission rates soil presented following increasing trend MTSV>MT>MTT, showing highly variability short term. Also, higher emissions were...
