Practical online workshop on developing fertilization plans in olive groves
Description
The upcoming implementation of mandatory Fertilization Plans for most farms is driving new training and technical adaptation needs in the sector. To help farmers and advisors navigate this new regulatory landscape, Agroslab will hold a free online workshop, “Developing Fertilization Plans for Olive Groves,” on May 29, 2026.
The session, aimed at fertilization advisors and farmers, will be held live between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. and will offer a practical demonstration using the new Fertilization Plans assistant integrated into the aGROSlab platform.
The workshop will show step by step how to develop, justify and issue a Fertilization Plan adapted to the olive grove cultivation, taking into account both the regulatory requirements and the agronomic and environmental conditions of each farm.
During the session, the regulatory framework established by Royal Decree 1051/2022, concerning sustainable nutrition in agricultural soils, will be reviewed, as well as its relationship with Action Plans in Nitrate Vulnerable Zones. Based on this context, fundamental technical aspects for the development of these plans will be addressed.
The planned content includes the definition of Fertilization Groups, the identification of plots, the collection of crop data and the calculation of the nutritional needs of the olive grove, incorporating correction factors from soil and foliar analyses.
In addition, work will be done on the fractionation of nutrients throughout the campaign, the selection of fertilizers based on the nutritional balance and the registration of Good Fertilization Practices, until the final issuance of the Fertilization Plan from the platform is completed.
Agroslab emphasizes that the session is designed to provide technicians and farmers with a clear, traceable work methodology aligned with new regulatory requirements, enabling them to develop fertilization plans with greater technical and documentary certainty.
The workshop is part of a series of practical sessions that will soon be extended to other crops such as citrus, vineyards, fruit trees, vegetables or almond trees.
