The Ministry of Water, Agriculture and Environment, through the Integrated Agricultural Training and Experience (CIFE) Jumilla Center, performed a comparative trial to evaluate the agronomic performance of different olive varieties and their suitability for the production of oil and as the organoleptic characteristics of the oil produced.
The aim is to compare the higher-yielding varieties and better organoleptic characteristics and its technical and economic feasibility, given the long tradition of olive cultivation in Jumilla for the production of extra virgin olive oil.
In addition, it is intended to check their tolerance to calcareous soils, drought, cold, irrigation support, ease of mechanical harvesting, resistance or tolerance to certain pests or diseases such as leprosy, tuberculosis, repilo and verticillium wilt.
For the development of this test Arbequina, Cornicabra, Frantoio, Hojiblanca, Oblong, Picual, Picudo, Empeltre, Changlot Lechín of Granada and Real varieties are used.
The test is performed under Integrated Production standards in a plot equipped drip irrigation.
This work has been funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the Ministry of Water, Agriculture and Environment, through the Service Training and Technology Transfer of the Directorate General of Agrifood Innovation.
