In Almeria, producers commonly carry out soil solarization disinfection practices in periods of high temperature, preparing the ground for the next campaign. Some greenhouses have already started the new season and are in the early stages of cultivation with newly transplanted plants. Pest control has been intensified to protect the young plants from extreme environmental conditions.
Pepper plantations in Almeria, including the California and Lamuyo varieties, are in different transplanting stages. Tomato transplants began in August, with many greenhouses finalizing soil solarization.
