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.....
Moisture Monitoring: A Key to Sustainable Olive Irrigation and Quality
Moisture monitoring helps olive growers save water, reduce costs, and boost oil quality by ensuring trees get the right amount of irrigation at critical growth stages.
The Role of Ethylene in Olive Ripening: Minor Player Amid Dominant ABA, Jasmonate, and Aux
This article explores the unique hormonal controls behind olive fruit ripening. Unlike climacteric fruits that rely on ethylene, olives are primarily guided by abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonates (JA), and auxins. It explains how these hormones regulate color change, oil accumulation, and fruit drop, while highlighting ethylene’s limited but practical role in harvest management. Designed for growers and agronomists, it translates physiology ins
