Olive grove biomass presents an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gases and meet the sustainability objectives set by Europe. Given relevance of this organic matter, paper analyzes evolution current situation regulations that regulate olive as a source energy in Europe, Spain Andalusia. Likewise, its effect on use Andalusian region, especially grove, is analyzed. The analysis novel, since there ...

Data for water vapor adsorption and evaporation are presented for a bare soil (sandy loam, clay content 15%) in a southern Spanish olive grove. Water losses and gains were measured using eight high-precision minilysimeters, placed around an olive tree, which had been irrigated until the soil reached field capacity (!0.22 m m). They were subsequently left to dry for 10 days. A pair of lysimeters...

A collapse of soil microbial diversity, mainly due to chemical inputs, has been reported lead the degradation conventional agroecosystems. The use compost from urban and agricultural waste management, in order achieve a net gain storage C, is an adequate management soils, especially rainfed conditions. However, great variability composts different maturity origins soils which they are added lim...

Despite of the economic importance of the olive fly (Bactrocera oleae) and the large amount of biological and ecological studies on the insect, the factors driving its population dynamics (i.e., population persistence and regulation) had not been analytically investigated until the present study. Specifically, our study investigated the autoregressive process of the olive fly populations, and t...

Olive leaf spot (OLS) or peacock spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Spilocaea oleagina, can cause reduced growth and yield in olive trees (Olea eurapaea). Investigations were carried out during December 1999 and January 2000 to measure the prevalence and severity of olive leaf spot in the Auckland, Waiheke Island, Wairarapa, Marlborough and Canterbury growing regions of New Zealand. The suscep...

The addition of organic amendments to soil increases soil organic matter content and stimulates soil microbial activity. Thus, processes affecting herbicide fate in the soil should be affected. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of olive oil production industry organic waste (alperujo) on soil sorption-desorption, degradation, and leaching of diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)...

Olive leaf spot or peacock spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Spilocaea oleagina, can cause reduced growth and yield in olive trees (Olea eurapaea). Investigations were carried out during 20072010 to measure the prevalence and severity of olive leaf spot in the northern olive growing regions of Iran. The susceptibility of ten cultivars (Amygdalifolia, Blaidy, Koronakei, Mary, Manzanillo, Missi...

The intensification and expansion in the cultivation of olives have contributed to significant spread Verticillium wilt, which is most important fungal problem affecting olive trees. Recent studies confirm that practices such as use innovative natural minerals (Zeoshell ZF1) application beneficial microorganisms (Micosat F BS WP) restore health infected However, for their efficient implementati...

The effect of pig slurry fertilization on tWQ olive (Olea europaea L. ev. Empeltre) groves has becn studied for ane season. The dosage of landsprayed slurry was 15 and 30 m3hafor a non-irrigatcd olive grove, which was in a bearing year and 30 and 60 m3hat fUT an irrigated grovc in a non-beaTing year. The macronutrient seasonal trend, both young (Iess than ayear old) and old (older than ane ycar...
