A field day to inspect and assess the National Olive Variety Assessment (NOVA) research site, at Roseworthy north of Adelaide, will be held on 24 November, in conjunction with the South Australian AOA IPDM Field Day.
Olives SA and the University of Adelaide have joined forces to restore the unique facility, including rejuvenation of the neglected grove and installation of irrigation, providing a shared resource for olive research and teaching, and a hub for local industry activity.
We’ll bring you more details in FOE as they’re announced, or contact Olives SA president Michael Johnston via mj@johnstons.net.au.
