Influence of girdling and zinc and boron application on growth, quality and leaf nutrient status of olive cv. Frontoio

Abstract: The experiment was carried out during 2008 to 2009 and 2009 to 2010 with the aim to study the effect of girdling and foliar application of zinc and boron on growth, quality and leaf nutrient status of olive cv. Frontoio. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with seventeen treatments. Maximum shoot extension growth (8.92 cm) was observed with the spray of 0.6% ZnSO 4 in combination with 0.6% boric acid. Maximum pulp:stone ratio of 2.57 and oil content of 25.62% was recorded with the foliar a… Show more

“…Results are in harmony with those studies which used foliar B and Zn have been observed to increase vegetative growth in mango (Mangifera indica) when trees were sprayed with 800 mgL -1 Zn (Rajput et al, 1976), and have positive effects on chlorophyll contents (Kaya &Higgs, 2002 andZheng et al, 1989). Amit et al (2014) found that foliar application of zinc sulphate in combination with boric acid were resulted better growth of cultivar Frontoio olive tree.…”

“…Foliar B and Zn have both been observed to increase vegetative growth in mango (Mangifera indica) when trees were sprayed with 800 mgL -1 Zn (Rajput et al, 1976) and have positive effects on chlorophyll contents (Kaya &Higgs, 2002 andZheng et al, 1989). Foliar applications of zinc sulphat in combination with boric acid were resulted better growth cultivar Frontoio (Amit et al, 2014). Ghani et al (2017), boron concentrations at 600 ppm foliar spray was recorded maximum number of flowers per panicle, perfect flowers and number of fruits per panicle.…”

“…Moreover, Sayyad-amin et al (2015), they obtained that zinc sulphate and boric at 2000 mg l -1 are effective on yield and fruit oil percentage. Amit et al (2014) concluded that application of 5% zinc sulphate in combination with 0.5 boric acid proved to be the best for improving fruit size, weight and volume, pulp:stone ratio and oil content of olive cultivar Frontoio. Also, (Desouky et al, 2009 andRamezani et al, 2010) reported that of zinc and boron application increased the olive yield and fruit quality.…”

“…It belongs to the Oleaceae family and its fruits are highly valued for their nutritional and medicinal benefits. Its oil contains several fatty acids, such as Oleic acid and Linolenic acid, as well as various vitamins that play a significant role in therapeutic processes that benefit humans, such as treating arterial sclerosis and high blood pressure [1]. In 2020, Iraq produced 858,177 tons of olives, with Ninawa province leading in production with a yield of 31 kg per tree, followed by Kirkuk with 33.40 kg per tree, and Diyala with 30.60 kg per tree.…”
