Goal of this investigation direction is obtaining that this traditional cultivation "could evolve and convert into a more modern, rentable and sustainable one".
The name of the four new varieties are "Vario", well tolerant to draught and fusicoccum; "Constantí", good-producing performance, strong and adapting to cultivation in dry land and "Marinada" and "Tarraco", both with excellent producing capacities.
