This study was carried out on olive trees cv. Amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, KnO3, and zinc sulfate, ZnSo4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. The plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% KnO3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% ZnSO4 and their combinations in August about halfway through the fruit growth period. The highest fruit weight was observe...
