Development of micropropagated, mycorrhizal and micro-grafted olive varieties through in vitro culture techniques, using mother plants selected in the field for their excellence in olive oil quality.
Development of biostimulants based on micorrizic and endophytic microorganisms naturally present in the soils of olive groves and olives.
Promote the circular economy and soil sustainability in the olive sector, the productivity of olive groves and the excellence of olive oil.
Value the traditional Portuguese varieties in the national and international market.
Support the construction and consolidation of the olive tree value chain.

A1 – Selection, characterization and georeferencing of Portuguese varieties.
A2 – Establishment in vitro.
