Verticillium wilt (caused by dahliae Kleb.) is an important disease affecting olive (Olea europaea L.) production. Effective control of this relies on integrated management strategies. In vitro antifungal activity two hydroxytyrosol (HTyr) enriched extracts (HTE1 and HTE2) obtained from mill waste products (OMWP) was assessed against V. dahliae. Inhibitory effects pure HTyr as a standard, HTE1 ...

the water deficiency is one of the serious problems in the arid zones. in order to investigate the effect of cycocel on different growth aspects of two olive cultivars (mary and mission), a greenhouse experiment was conducted using three factors of: cycocel at three levels (0, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), irrigation of three levels (irrigated at 5, 10 and 15 days intervals) and tow olive cultivars (ma...

Olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) is a polluting stream derived from the production of olive and source environmental pollution; this relevant in many countries around world, but particularly all Mediterranean region where major producers are located. In effluent, several pollutants present—namely, sugars, fatty acids, polyphenols, among others. Nowadays, to reduce pollutant load, treatment techn...

New palm oil mill processes are characterized by advanced oil separation technologies with zero dilution water (‘ECO-D’ for example as a new system for oil recovery without dilution water) and continuous sterilization of the fresh fruit bunch (FFB). These processes have a deep impact on the amount and composition of waste water (POME). Compared to conventional palm oil mills the total amount of...

Anaerobic digestion of biomasses originates different products, the most abundant of which are methane and carbon dioxide. During this process, a 60-70% organic matter reduction occurs and the final product, the digestate, is characterized by high biological stability and high contents of recalcitrant organic molecules and nutrients. In the present work digestates obtained by different mixture ...

In India, Pulp & paper industries have been large uses of portable water and consequently large generator of waste water. Anaerobic treatment of paper processing waste water has a distinct advantage of recovery of inherent energy in the form of methane gas with much less sludge production. A hybrid reactor that capitalizes on the positive features of anaerobic filter(AF) and up-flow anaerobic s...
