Effect of soil plowing and fertilization on the susceptibility of four olive cultivars to the insect Bactrocera oleae and the fungi Sphaeropsis dalmatica and Spilocaea oleagina

Susceptibility to the insect Bactrocera oleae and the fungi Spilocaea oleagina and Sphaeropsis dalmatica was investigated in four olive cultivars, two for table fruit production (Kalamon and Chondrolia Chalkidikis) and two for oil production (Lianolia and Koroneiki). Cv. Chondrolia Chalkidikis was t...

Description
Summary:Susceptibility to the insect Bactrocera oleae and the fungi Spilocaea oleagina and Sphaeropsis dalmatica was investigated in four olive cultivars, two for table fruit production (Kalamon and Chondrolia Chalkidikis) and two for oil production (Lianolia and Koroneiki). Cv. Chondrolia Chalkidikis was the most susceptible to all three pathogens, followed by cv. Kalamon. Soil plowing and the organic fertilizer Bio-Trust registered (10-3-6 + 8% MgCO sub(3) + 10% CaCO sub(3)) increased the susceptibility of all four tested olive cultivars to the insect and the two fungi. Correlations were found between the attacks by B. oleae and infections by S. oleagina and S. dalmatica on the four olive cultivars.
