This research was conducted during the period (2018 - 2020) at Hamah Agricultural Research Center in the west central of Syria, in the olive orchard planted with a local variety called “Kaisi”, in order to assess the impact of some organic practices in the productive traits of olive, especially that olive in Syria suffer from a decrease in productivity of unit area due to the lack of services provided to trees, or to repercussion of climate changes in the region.
The experimental orchard was divided into four plots: three of them were fertilized as organic treatments coding as follows: (T1: foliar application was applied with certified organic fertilizer its trade name “Amalgerol”, T2: we add fermented manure of free-bred sheep and green manure of vetch and barely plants, T3: in this plot, green manure and organic liquid fertilizer “Amalgerol” were added, whereas the forth plot T4: is a chemical treatment fertilized by NPK.
The productive indicators (one year shoot length, No. flowers, fruit set%, productivity kg/tree, fruit weight, pulp%, oil content%) were studied in the field and in the Olive Oil laboratory at General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research, and a study of costs and profit was also conducted for each experimental plot to find out the most feasible treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
