PEI-AGRI

Olive Biodiversity for Saving Salento from Xylella

Obiettivi
Objectives

In line with the objectives of the EIP / RDP, the proposal aims at identifying sources of resistance to
Xylella fastidiosa in olive performing field observations and laboratory tests and to evaluate their
agronomic characteristics. A further objective consists in the rapid transfer of olive cultivars that have
shown tolerance/ resistance to the farmers by implementing rapid propagation protocols and
incremental sections.

Activities

The proposed design solution aims to acquire information on the varietal and clonal susceptibility of
olive germplasm to Xylella fastidiosa. The Project intends to complete the observations already
initiated by some Partners, who make available a field for the conservation of olive germplasm of local varieties / accessions and two multi-variety experimental-demonstration fields implanted in an area of Salento particularly afflicted by the epidemic.
