Abstract
The area under study extends along the Ionian Sea, from Palasa to Saranda.
This area is characterized by soils rich in nitrogen.
These are meadow, brown and brown meadow soils.
Rich in phosphorus are the brown meadow soils.
These soils are rich in potash.
Since the geographical extent is closely related to the temperature regime, this indicator shows its influence in many aspects, such as in the amplitudes, in the temperature extremes; max and min temperature.
From statistical data it appears that the annual average is around 16-17°C, a value that is characteristic of the warmest regions of the Mediterranean countries.
The average monthly temperature in the coastal area, only in January and February, is -10°C. Starting from March, the temperature begins to grow gradually and reaches its maximum in July-August and then begins a gradual decline.
The lowest average monthly temperature is in January.
The lowest temperatures occur in the third 10 days of January and the first 10 days of February.
This period from January 20 to February 10 represents the coldest period of the year in this area, while the warmest period of the year is the third day of July and the first day of August, which coincides with the ripening of the fig species.
The purpose of this study was to identify the Ionian coastal region in relation to this species, types, ecotypes and genotypes.
The study is more in the regional aspect than in that of the area’s biodiversity as this requires a more detailed study.
From the partial exploration, ‘Kalamata’, ‘Perdhikul’ and ‘Vasiliko’ fig trees dominate.
These cultivars have also been subjected to molecular analysis from the study with the University of Bari.
All data have been analyzed statistically.
It turns out that the ‘Vasiliko’ fig has common features with the ‘Allaxhir’ fig that grows in the area of Tirana. ‘Perdhikul’ fig or capelet ‘Capelle’ as it is called from the area, a synonym, is a dried fig which must be added and processed like a ‘Roshnik’ fig and put on the domestic and foreign markets.
The ‘Kallamata’ fig is a cultivar that stretches along the Ionian coast with a destination for fresh consumption.
It should be added that it coincides with the time of tourism.
