in order to determine the effect of irrigation interval and mulch on growth of olive an experiment was carried out in dallaho olive research station at sarepole. a split plot experiment was used based on a completely randomized design with three replications and two factors (mulch and irrigation interval). each experiment unit consists of 4 trees. land preparation was done in february 2005 in a...

one of the fundamental processes in woody plant propagation especially olive is rooting ability of cuttings. thus the selection of superior trees with desirable genetic structure is essential. adventitious root formation is a key step in rooting ability. therefore, identification of inducible genes in these processes is necessary. in this study, for the first time importin genes were identified...

olive oil is one of the oldest known vegetable oils, ranking sixth in world production. since it is extractedfrom fresh fruit and used without aging, the conditions of oil production are very important. during theextraction of virgin olive oil, the milling and malaxation steps are vital for increasing oil yield and quality.in this study, the effect of milling (single or double), temperature of ...

Olive (Olea europaea), whose importance is mainly due to nutritional and health features, is one of the most economically significant oil-producing trees in the Mediterranean region. Unfortunately, the increasing market demand towards virgin olive oil could often result in its adulteration with less expensive oils, which is a serious problem for the public and quality control evaluators of virg...

We tested the hypothesis that whole-tree water consumption of olives (Olea europaea L.) is fruit load-dependent and investigated the driving physiological mechanisms. Fruit load was manipulated in mature olives grown in weighing-drainage lysimeters. Fruit was thinned or entirely removed from trees at three separate stages of growth: early, mid and late in the season. Tree-scale transpiration, c...

Olive (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. europaea) is one of the oldest fruit tree in the Mediterranean basin, and is cultivated for oil and canned fruit. Part of this interest is driven by the economic importance of olive oil which is increasing throughout the world due to its beneficial effect to human health. In Tunisia, olive has great socio-economic importance, with more than 60 millio...

Evaluation of the incidence of the leaf spot disease caused by the biotrophic pathogen Fusicladium oleagineum on two olive cultivars (Olea europaea L.) was carried out during six years (2009/2015) in groves located at Touiref (North West of Tunisia). The studies focused on Meski and Chetoui cultivars. The evaluated foliar incidence of disease was analyzed in relationship with some factors. Dise...

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...
