one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars, zard, roghani, koroneiki and manzanilla, were transplanted to different sets of pots each pot containing 2000g of sterilized sandy loam soil. the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design of 32 treatments, each in five replications. treatments were comprised of: control, mere nematode, mere fungus, and fungus+nematode. pots were inocul...

ABSTRACT- Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most valuable and widespread fruit trees in Iran. Salt stress-induced changes in membrane stability, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity were examined on four olive cultivars (Dakal, Shiraz, Zard and Amigdalifolia) by emphasizing the correlation between measured parameters and ion (K+, Na+) accumulation. Plants were subjected to four s...

olive leaf moth, palpita :union:alis (hübner) is an injurious pest of nurseries, of young olivetrees, and also of the suckers of old trees. in feeds on some other such host plants as ash,jasmine and privet. knowledge of the biology and life table parameters of the pest species isneeded in any pest management program. in this work, life history traits and life tableparameters as well as the popu...

Winter frost injury is a major limiting factor for olive cultivation in temperate regions. The response of shoots to freezing stress can be used selecting genotypes resistant freezing. electrolyte leakage (EL) and tetrazolium tests (TZ) are commonly evaluate dead tissues cold studies. temperature–response curve lethal temperature (LT) measured with models calculate LT50 LT90. In this study, we ...

Olive fly is the most dangerous pest in olive groves worldwide. Therefore the study of the most susceptible and resistant cultivars to olive fly can bring new information to diminish the olive flies harmful impacts. The main goal of the present study is to verify the olfactory response of olive fly to olive volatiles from five native Iranian cultivars (Fishomi, Mari, Rowghani, Shengeh, and Zard...
