    Andalusia will promote research to optimize the quality and price of water for irrigation

    During the closing of the day 'Efficiency in the use of water and use of non-conventional water resources in horticultural crops protected', held on December 1st by the Institute of Agricultural Research and Training and Fisheries of Andalusia (Ifapa) in La Mojonera, the Andalusian Agriculture Minister, Rodrigo Sánchez Haro, has advanced the implementation of a strategy aimed at optimizing the quality and price of water for irrigation.

    Fruitponic, of the Projar Group, increases the economic value of fruits such as nectarine up to 30%

    The semi-hydroponic cultivation technology, Fruitponic, developed by the Projar Group together with the Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research (IVIA) contributes to increase the economic value of fruits in crops such as nectarine up to 30%, according to the results obtained in its tests of research, where there has been a 5% increase in fruit weight, even in situations of deficit irrigation of up to 30%. It is, therefore, a system that is suitable for large producers of fruit trees with poor production or water shortage.
