Differences in leaves of olive trees under organic, integrated and conventional pest management
نویسنده
چکیده
Differences in pest management of olive orchards may affect the development of olive trees and may be reflected in terms of absolute and relative asymmetry, mass, and quality of the leaves. Leaf mass and residual leaf mass of olive trees were significantly greater under organic management than other pest management regimes. The analysis revealed that leaves from trees under different pest management regimes differed, a result that may have practical applications. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Environmental Life cycle assessment of olive fruit production under different orchard size and upon common and organic agro-systems (Case of Rudbar County, Iran)
The aim of this research was to investigate the environmental impacts of olive fruit production under different orchard size and upon organic and common agro-systems through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in Rudbar region, Guilan province, northern Iran. The data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire and face-to-face interview with 305 olive growers in the study region. ...
متن کاملUse of arthropods for the evaluation of the olive-orchard management regimes
1 The presence and abundance of arthropods were compared in three olive orchards under organic, integrated and conventional management regimes. In each olive orchard, trees were sampled in the canopy by beating branches and soil arthropods by placing pitfall traps. Contrary to expectations, the highest abundance of arthropods occurred in the integrated management orchard. The most abundant grou...

Some olive cultivars possess high tendency to alternate bearing, which have a minus economic effect on olive industry. The experiment was performed in an olive orchard located in Shiraz region. Monthly monitoring of concentrations of unstructured carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose, mannitol and starch), protein, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus in leaves, branches and roots of olive tr...

In the province of Granada (southern Spain) spiders were studied in olive-tree canopies, in olive orchards under similar environmental conditions but different management systems: organic, integrated and conventional. Monthly samplings (March to October) was performed in the canopy by the beating method. Spider abundance proved significantly higher in the organic than in the conventional orchar...
متن کاملIon content and its correlation with some physiological parameters in olive cultivars in response to salinity
ABSTRACT- Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most valuable and widespread fruit trees in Iran. Salt stress-induced changes in membrane stability, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity were examined on four olive cultivars (Dakal, Shiraz, Zard and Amigdalifolia) by emphasizing the correlation between measured parameters and ion (K+, Na+) accumulation. Plants were subjected to four s...
