Precision agriculture in fruit orchards: development and evaluation of a smart sprayer for variable rate pesticide application in 3D crops
(English) European agriculture is currently experiencing an intense debate about the production model, linked to a growing social awareness regarding the use of agrochemicals in general, and plant protection products in ...
Desarrollo de un sistema de apoyo a la toma de decisión para la evaluación cuantitativa de los equipos de aplicación de productos fitosanitarios en función del riesgo medioambiental
(English) Since the adoption of the Machinery Directive 2009/127/EC and the implementation of the new Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which will be mandatory from 2027, manufacturers of agricultural sprayers have ...
Estudio de matrices de pectina modificada y bis-glicinato ferroso, para su aplicación en la fortificación de alimentos
(English) Colloidal matrices of native and oxidized pectin were developed to improve iron bioa-vailability through the digestive tract. Ferrous bisglycinate (Gly-Fe ), obtained by precipitation of glycine chelation to ...
Towards a sustainable use of plant protection products in orchards: implementation of canopy-adapted spray technology and new developments for spray efficiency evaluation
(English) The application of Plant protection products (PPP) is one of the most widely used solutions to effectively control pests and diseases during orchard management, guaranteeing the yield and production of fruits. ...
Personalized meal by using different proteins based on 3D printing
(English) Currently, the use of 3D printing technology in the food sector is being considered, which can improve or displace some of the traditional methods of food manufacturing. The 3D printing market has grown significantly ...
Structure-function relationships in sensory G protein-coupled receptors
(English) Perception of the world by an organism is not possible unless decoding the received information through its sensory systems. In vertebrates, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels are principal ...
Effect of precursors and thermal processing on acrylamide formation in synthetic potato models. Validation with potato cultivars
(English) Acrylamide is a toxic compound and is classified as a probable human carcinogen. In recent decades, international organizations have established levels of safety for ingestion due to its harmful effects endangering ...
Assessment of different strategies to reduce environmental fungicide contamination in vineyards
(English) The use of plant protection products (PPP) has become an essential tool in agriculture to achieve the minimum requirements of quality and quantity of food demanded by consumers. Moreover, due to its repeated use ...
Understanding consumers' perceptions to stimulate aquaculture fish consumption in Europe
(English) Fish can play a crucial role in feeding the growing global population and providing it with essential nutrients. However, the world’s fish stocks are limited and almost fully exploited. Consequently, aquaculture ...
Obtaining, characterizing and studying the in vitro bioavailability of different cation complexations for food fortification
(English) Although mineral chelates have been produced for more than 70 years, neither production methods nor optimum conditions are well specified. The solid evidence that the complexes are true chelates is still missing. ...
Improving monitoring and management of low-lying coastal areas with Sentinel-2 data: the Ebro Delta showcase
(English) Coastal areas support important ecosystems with great ecological value, giving rise to countless resources increasingly exploited by humans. Understanding the processes occurring in both inland and aquatic ...
Desarrollo de modelos para la identificación de variedades y fitopatologías mediante técnicas fotónicas
In the cultivation of fruit trees, the most common is to work with cuttings. In this way, the grafted fruit tree variety offers specific fruit qualities and the rootstock offers certain agronomic and adaptation characteristics. ...
Biological control approaches of Meloidogyne spp. in vegetable crops : from application of selected antagonists to suppressive soils
Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., are the most economically important genus of plant parasitic nematodes that cause considerable damage and yield losses of horticultural crops worldwide. RKN management strategies ...
