nearly just a decade ago, olive leaf moth, palpita unionalis, was identified as an exotic pest from an olive grove in roodbar, iran. in order to plan an ipm programme regarding olive, a series of laboratory and field studies were carried out during 2001-2003 in qazvin province. to study the emergence time, number of generations, feeding behaviour and developmental periods at field, five trees (...

in order to study adaptation ability of 15 commercial olive cultivars, this experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with three replication during the period from 2007 to 2009 in dry-warm climate of sar-pol-e-zehab dallaho olive station of kermanshah province. in this experiment, vegetative and reproductive traits were measured according to i.o.o.c. descriptors. flora...

olive is a perennial evergreen tree which has good adaptability to poor environmental conditions such as salt and drought resistance. in recent years, there is a tendency to plant olive trees in green spaces. therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate 15 olive cultivars regarding growth habit, form, and texture to recommend for landscape. six-year-old trees of 15 olive cultivars, which h...

randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers were used to study the genetic diversity and discriminate among 17 unknown genotypes (considered potentially salt tolerant) and 16 known olive cultivars. fifteen decamer primers which produced 38 reproducible polymorphic bands in the genotypes were selected for analysis. the rapd markers resulted in 93 distinct banding patterns. based on either ...

Nitrogen is an important element in the life of a plant. A wide range of nitrogen-containing compounds is available in the world market, with different formulations and efficiencies. Urea is present in most fertilizer applications; however, nano-nitrogen products are becoming popular although there is only limited information on their field efficiency. Thus, this paper studied the foliar applic...
