The objective of this study was to investigate damage rate and impact Bactrocera oleae on olive oil quality the ‘Cyprus Local’ ‘Gemlik’ cultivars in Northern Cyprus. This included 11 groves which were located two different districts. A total from separate cities (Güzelyurt Girne) selected during maturity time where cvs, are grown intensively. Two hundred fifty fruits (25 fruits/10 trees) random...

Ripe fruit offer readily available nutrients for many animals, including fruit fly larvae (Diptera: Tephritidae) and their associated rot-inducing bacteria. Yet, during most of their ontogeny, fruit remain chemically defended and effectively suppress herbivores and pathogens by high levels of secondary metabolites. Olive flies (Bactrocera oleae) are uniquely able to develop in unripe olives. Un...

A novel non-motile, Gram-staining-negative, yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated CT348(T), isolated from the ectorhizosphere of an organic olive tree in Spain and characterised as an efficient plant growth promoting bacterium, was investigated to determine its taxonomic status. The isolate grew best in a temperature range of 5-35°C, at pH 5.0-8.0 and with 0-1% (w/v) NaCl. Chemotaxonomic and m...

Wild olive seed weevil, Anchonocranus oleae Marshall, larvae as well oviposition and feeding damage were recorded in cultivated olives during a recent study on wasps. Prematurely dropped fruit picked at harvest two orchards near Stellenbosch Agter-Paarl examined regularly for wasp infestation over three seasons. In addition, collected the growing regions of Western Cape province survey to deter...
