the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) was isolated from olive groves showing disease symptoms in toshan area of southern gorgan city. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and following identification it was propagated on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars, zard, roghani, koroneiki and manzani...

The Journal has published numerous articles on consumption of soft drinks and other sweet drinks by children, but none of these articles has reported on infants. Papers published elsewhere on complementary feeding of infants have seldom considered these beverages. The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Infant Feeding Practices Study, a nationally representative 1-year longitudinal study carried...

abstract planting of olive (olea europaea l.) tree due to salt and drought tolerance and ever green habit increasingly is considered in urban landscape in recent years. the low resistance to cold has been a major problem in using this tree in temperate and cold zones. so, determination of frost resistance cultivars is one of the important measures for use of this tree in urban landscape. to eva...

Agronomic practices can modify olive fruit and oil quality. However, there is little information on the influence of fertigation, a common practice in most intensive orchards. We studied nutrient distribution in the soil profile following fertigation with different doses of N-P-K fertilizer, and its effect on nutrient concentrations, yield and both table olive and oil quality. Measurements were...

The aim of this work was to design and test a controller (CRP) able to calculate the irrigation dose automatically, suitable for high frequency irrigation in fruit tree orchards. The device consisted of three (replicates) measuring units (MU), a control unit (CU) and a pump and electrovalve controller (PEC). The MUs collected information on the transpiration (Ep) dynamics within the orchard, wi...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of used sap flow (SF), trunk diameter variation (TDV) and leaf turgor (LT) sensors for assessing water stress in a ‘Arbequina’ hedgerow olive orchard with 1667 trees ha. Measurements were made in control trees irrigated to replace 100% of the crop water needs, and in trees under two regulated deficit irrigation strategies, 60RDI and 30RDI, in w...
