• Increasing yield and quality of olives in olive groves

In the mycorrhization process, where the main ingredient is Trichoderma spp., the growth and development of olives is improved and the yield and quality of olive oil increases.Trichoderma species are saprophytic fungi (non-pathogenic).They are one of the most distinct antagonists in the microbiological world. Trichoderma in the soil ensure a positive health condition of the plant, increase resistance to diseases and do not affect other beneficial microorganisms. Some Trichoderma species also promote the development and growth of the plant itself. It is expected that the implementation of the project and the application of the aforementioned mycorrhization procedure on specific olive varieties will significantly contribute to the growth, development and health of the olive tree.

• Development and production of premium quality extra virgin olive oil

Increasing the competitiveness of agricultural holdings by applying modern methods of growing and processing olives

Agricultural farms will be able to offer new products on the market, such as extra virgin olive oil of premium quality with precisely defined qualitative parameters, and significantly increase income.

The purpose of the research is to apply the knowledge and experience gained during the implementation of the project to increase the efficiency of olive production in the Republic of Croatia by mitigating negative abiotic factors using the mycorrhization process, to increase the yield and quality of olive oil, which will contribute to increasing the competitiveness of agricultural holdings.
