What causes bark splitting in olive trees?
The fungal disease Armillaria is responsible for the "white rot" root disease.The Armillaria fungus damages the root system.The fungus survives in the soil until the infected root breaks down. Characteristic white fan-shaped mycelial mats can be seen growing on the wood when the rotting bark is peeled back. Freshly infected roots have a strong mushroom smell. The wood of infected roots is rotted by the fungus, becoming either white and powdery ..
Olive Oil Extraction: Investing in the Right Equipment for Quality Production
For businesses and serious growers considering olive oil extraction, the idea of owning a machine for under $10,000 may seem like an attractive entry point. However, achieving high-quality olive oil requires advanced extraction technology that meets food-grade standards. The extraction process is highly technical, demanding specialised equipment to maintain oil integrity and efficiency. This guide will help you understand the essential components
Enhancing Olive Harvesting with Advanced Mechanical Solutions
The study, which focused on the ‘Ortice’ and ‘Ortolana’ olive cultivars, found that this technology achieved a mechanical harvesting yield of approximately 97%, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance productivity and cost-effectiveness in modern olive farming. If you are looking for small-scale olive oil processing machines, olive oil processing machine prices, compact olive oil processing equipment for boutique groves, olive oil ex
Lab Tests Explained: Understanding Olive Oil Testing and Quality
At harvest time, it’s easy to get swept up in the rush of processing your olives, but remember... the care you take during harvest and processing will show up in your final product. Lab tests provide a window into the quality and authenticity of your olive oil, helping you meet quality standards and identify areas for improvement.
Olive Oil Testing is Changing And What Growers Needs to Know
The International Olive Council (IOC) has recently updated its trade standard, which sets the world’s benchmark for olive oil quality. These standards are what laboratories and authorities use to decide if an oil is “extra virgin”, “virgin” or “lampante” and whether it can be sold in export markets. In June 2025, the European Union formally supported a series of major testing changes at the 121st IOC Council of Members meeting. These changes ..
Mechanical Harvesting and the Role of Branch Inclination in Vibration Transmission - HUB
Trunk shakers apply forced vibration at the tree trunk, which propagates through the canopy and detaches ripe olives. However, the success of this process isn't solely dependent on the machine’s frequency or power. The geometry of the tree itself... particularly the inclination angle of its branches... plays a pivotal role in determining how efficiently that vibration moves through the canopy.....
New Research Unlocks Olive Harvesting Efficiency For Better Fruit Removal - HUB
Mechanical trunk shakers have transformed olive harvesting in modern olive groves. A new study: Damping behavior of olive trees under trunk shaking (Ghonimy, Alharbi & Ibrahim, 2025) provides growers with the first detailed breakdown of how vibration energy moves through olive trees and the soil beneath them. The findings reveal how attachment height, trunk diameter, and the tree-soil interaction determine whether ...
Starting Out with Olive Oil Extraction: What You Really Need to Know
Thinking about making your own olive oil? This guide from The Olive Centre explains what beginners must understand before starting. Budget machines under $10,000 often fail to produce real extra virgin olive oil, which requires proper crushers, malaxers, and decanters. The article covers each stage of extraction, from breaking down olive pits to controlled malaxation and centrifugal separation.
Rejuvenating An Olive Grove
A new grove owner near Taree, NSW, faces challenges reviving a mature olive grove on heavy clay soil in a high-rainfall region. Here’s a practical guide to restoring soil health, drainage, nutrition, and yield. The grove was abandoned and in need of rejuvenation. See what steps can be considered to bring an olive grove back.
