Olive trees in Galicia
- Type Grupo operativo
- Execution 2017
- Assigned Budget 5.000,00 €
- Scope Autonómico
- Autonomous community Galicia
- Main source of financing PEPAC 2014-2020
The practical use of the results is to find a formula to avoid fraud when Galician oils are put on the market. This will give a definitive boost to the incorporation of oil made from Galician olives obtained through future producers in rural Galicia who, due to their bioclimatic characteristics, can incorporate this crop.
For the propagation of olive cuttings, a partner is sought who has already carried out some study on olive trees and is knowledgeable about the sector, so that, once this process begins, all the information can be disseminated so that anyone linked, or who wants to be linked, to the rural sector can carry out plantations with certified plants and guarantee the variety of plants. At the same time, a study is intended to be carried out to find out what is the ideal planting framework to ensure that the plant does not suffer stress, to study the hydraulic needs and the most frequent pests and diseases that can affect it.
The objective of this Operational Group is to avoid the incorporation of foreign varieties, thanks to the design of a propagation method adapted to the bioclimatic zone studied that ensures the planting of Galician olive trees and not foreign varieties, which take longer to adapt to the soil and climate conditions of the area and give a lower yield in terms of production.
