Bringing the olive harvest period forward leads to storing fruit in field temperatures that risk jeopardizing its quality. Knowledge about bio-thermal characteristics of olives is crucial when considering their cooling, although published research on subject limited. In this work, cooling rate six cultivars has been empirically determined by measuring evolution low temperature under controlled ...

Blends of olive oils obtained from four cultivars ( Olea europaea L. cv. Chemlali, Chetoui, Oueslati and Koroneiki) were produced by two different methods blending: processing fruit mixtures or mixing monovarietal oils, using the same proportions selected cultivars. The blends biochemically characterized to evaluate quality, compared. results indicated that most successful formulations are main...

Climate change is affecting water resources in the Mediterranean region. In olive orchards, irrigation use efficiency could be increased by accounting for trees’ alternate bearing behaviour and growth-stage sensitivity to drought. The main objective of this study examine tree phenology, morphology physiology “on” “off” productive years improvement scheduling. A regulated (RDI) a sustained (SDI)...

Maximizing nitrogen uptake efficiency is a sustainable objective to reduce the amount of fertilizers applied in olive orchards. Many factors affect this parameter, but nothing known about whether there are differences among cultivars related olive, and if interactions with soil type. To clarify these questions, two groups experiments were conducted. In first group, four carried out which 20 com...

A cultura da oliveira tem sido plantada em pequenas e grandes propriedades, além de muitas regiões brasileiras que apresentam clima subtropical ou temperado. Diante necessidade avaliar a adaptação observar seu desempenho agronômico, implantou-se uma unidade demonstrativa para produção oliveiras no Planalto Norte Catarinense. O projeto é parceria público-privada, com participação do Instituto Fe...

Verticillium wilt resulting from infection by dahliae is one of the most devastating soilborne fungi olive tree (Olea europaea L.) worldwide. The pathogen infects a wide variety plants and can survive in soil for many years, chemicals cannot control it. Therefore, sustainable disease management strategies are suggested, with exploitation host resistance as predominant measure practice. In addit...

The olive crop has a large diversity in cultivars around the world, whose identification have been based on leaf, stem or fruit traits. However, these traits may be influenced by environment, which led to misidentification of cultivars. variability pistil and pollen structure under electron scanning light microscopy were studied using 'Arbequina', 'Arbosana', 'Frantoio', 'Koroneiki', 'Manzanill...
