However, the transition to <strong>organic and ecological<\/strong> models represents a significant technical challenge, especially if the goal is to maintain high levels of production and oil quality. <\/p>\n\n<p>The ecological management of the olive tree should focus on <strong>soil regeneration<\/strong>, <strong>balanced nutrition<\/strong>, <strong>abiotic stress management<\/strong> (drought, salinity, frost) and <strong>control of soil and aerial diseases<\/strong>. This program presents a comprehensive strategy using <strong>Ecoganic certified products<\/strong>, based on direct review of the catalog, trials and real technical experiences. <\/p>\n\n<hr
