Herbicide Use in Olive Groves from Managing the Risk to Pollination and Yields
Herbicides are a crucial tool in modern agriculture, but recent research highlights an unintended consequence that olive producers must consider—potential harm to pollination. A study by Dummer et al. (2025) has identified that common herbicides, including glyphosate and 2,4-D, significantly impair olive pollen germination, raising serious concerns about their impact on fruit set and overall yield.
Understanding Shotberries in Olives: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention
Shotberries are undersized, non-viable olives that grow to a maximum of about 4mm. They remain on the tree but do not mature into full-sized fruit, leading to significant yield losses.
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.....
Understanding Fruit and Flower Drop in Fruit Trees: Causes and Remedies
Discover the main causes of fruit and flower drop in fruit trees and learn practical remedies to reduce losses. Explore solutions like fertilisation, pruning, irrigation management, and pollination support to improve yields and orchard health.
