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...

Using response surface methodology (RSM), this study investigates the effect of NaCl substitution (50%) with KCl, CaCl2, and MgCl2 in packaging brines (controlled variables) on characteristics (responses) plain green Spanish-style Manzanilla olives, maintaining salt-mixture level 5%. The RSM showed that increment CaCl2 caused a linear significant (p-value ≤ 0.05) decrease pH increase firmness (...

The production of volatile compounds in naturally fermented green table olives from Manzanilla cultivar was investigated. A total 62 were detected after 24 weeks fermentation. To clarify the contribution yeasts to formation these compounds, such microorganisms isolated corresponding fermenting brines. Five major yeast strains identified: Nakazawaea molendinolei NC168.1, Zygotorulaspora mrakii N...

This work was made with mature ‘Manzanilla’ olive trees in an orchard of a semi-arid area in southern Spain. Three water treatments were considered: Rainfed, in which the trees had rainfall as the only source of water supply; FAO, in which the trees were under localized irrigation to replace the crop water demand, with some roots left in drying soil; Pond, in which the whole rootzones of the tr...

The defect of gas pocket formation still leads to substantial losses yield and quality Spanish-style green olives worldwide. This spoilage has recently been associated with the growth Celerinatantimonas sp., this study was aimed at investigating influence several factors on Celerinatantimonas, both in synthetic media as well olive brines three cultivars Gordal, Manzanilla Hojiblanca. Using medi...

El olivo (Olea europaea L.) presenta un complejo panorama varietal aún no caracterizado e identificado totalmente. En este trabajo se estudió material con incertidumbre identitaria: analizaron seis loci microsatélites de 13 accesiones relacionadas al cultivar Manzanilla la colección del INTA Catamarca y dos genotipos huertos comerciales departamento Cruz Eje, Córdoba. Para confirmar identidad c...
