Organic Olive Oil Grove

Farmhouse D.G. Siadima
Athena

This olive grove has a demonstrative and research character. The cultivation of the olive tree is based on the model of “agrobiodynamic management” proposed by the research team of the University of Patras in the variety of “Koroneiki” olive tree and certified by the control and certification organization «DIO».  Mr. Dimitris Siadimas is one of the producers selected in the framework of the research program “Development of the organic way of production of plant and livestock products in the Municipality of Thestie” 2006-2010 funded by the Municipality of Thestie and the research team for the biological production method of the Department of Biology of the University of Patras with the researcher Mrs. Athina Theodorakopoulou and the assistant professor Mr. K. Aggelopoulos. Mr. Dimitris Siadimas is also one of the producers selected in the framework of the research program “Development of the biological way of cultivating plant products” funded by the company AB Vassilopoulos AEVE and implemented by the research team on the biological production method of the Department of Biology of the University Patras with the researcher Mrs. Athina Theodorakopoulou and the Deputy Professor – Researcher Mr. K. Aggelopoulos.

For millennia, the olive tree has been cultivated for its unique fruit: the olive. What makes the fruit and oil of Koroneiki olive different from the other olives in the area, is the cultivation method applied to this farm. Unlike many other crops, there is no artificial watering. The special flavor, the aroma of olive oil produced by these olives is indeed very special and unique. The harvest of olives on the farm begins towards the end of each year. With hard work, valuable fruits are harvested with the machine pneumatica colligi. The fruits are transported for cold pressing to the ecological mill of Mr. Athanasios Tzoumerkiotis on the opposite bank of Trichonida in Makrinia.

Maintaining soil fertility is an important part of the management of this olive grove, which aims to maintain good fertility and the natural state of the olive grove. The soil structure and its texture have a direct effect on water retention, its ventilation and influence the development of roots and the development of beneficial microorganisms. For fertilization, green fertilizers are used with organic materials (animal and plant manure) as well as microorganisms, while organic fertilizer “super eco vas” is added to the forms permitted by Regulation 2092/91.

Plant protection in the olive grove aims to prevent diseases and competing species, requiring only the necessary interventions to be performed. Only when it is necessary, organic preparations and insecticides (of plant origin) are used, authorized by Regulation (EEC) No 2091/92. The levels of insults from the known insects (mainly the fungus and the nucleus) are trapped to monitor their populations.
