Olive oil quality influenced by biostimulant foliar fertilizers

Quantity and Quality of Dill Essential Oil as Influenced by Organic Fertilizers

Increasing attention is being paid to use of organic fertilizers such as manure and vermicompost which can increased yield and protect the environment. Replacing chemical fertilizers with manures has the benefit of low production cost and imparts beneficial effects on soil. Then an experiment was conducted during 2013 to measure effects of organic fertilizers on essential oil of dill (Anethum g...

Foliar Applications with Sunred Biostimulant Advance and Uniform Fruit Ripening in Orange and Olive

This study evaluated the effect of foliar biostimulants on fruit quality of adult 'Valencia' orange and 'Biancolilla' olive trees. Half of the selected orange and olive trees were sprayed twice before harvest with the SUNRED® commercial mix containing phenylalanine, methionine, mono-saccharides and oxylipins from plant extracts as well as potassium salts and urea. Orange and olive yields and fr...

Quality Evaluation of Olives, Olive Pomace and Olive Oil by Infrared Spectroscopy

Olive oil production as influenced by different quantities of applied water

Irrigation management can have a profound influence on olive oil production. We initiated a 2-year study in the spring of 2002 to identify the optimal level of applied water on a super high tree-density (spacing 1.5 m 3.9 m) olive (Olea europaea L.‘Arbequina I-18’) orchard. Irrigation water was applied by drip irrigation to produce different water-application treatments of 15, 25, 40, 57, 71, 8...
