The main objective is to evaluate the soil used in olive production, differentiating between dry and irrigated land, as well as organic and integrated cultivation, and to demonstrate the benefits of using organic products formulated based on live microorganisms on the immune system of plants, vigor and production, in order to transform these conductive and infertile soils into suppressive soils ("living").
