Due to the adverse stress conditions typical of olive cultivation
in desert conditions, the olive tree is responding with production
of high levels of antioxidant substances. Among these substances
are polyphenols, tocopherols, and phytosterols. Studies have shown
that saline irrigated varieties of olives have demonstrated
advantages over those irrigated with tap water.
This is just one of the aspects of desert cultivation of olives
that is covered in Desert Olive Oil Advanced Biotechnologies. Based
on 20 years of research, the book expounds on the appropriate
selection of olive varieties with high productivity and oil
quality, the impact of foliar nutrition on decreasing alternate
bearing and increasing fruit quality, improving efficiency of
mechanical harvesting, and increasing efficiency of oil extraction
and oil quality regulating analysis.
Key Features:
*Addresses olive cultivation methods for semi-arid
environments
*Focuses on intensive cultivation using saline and municipal
waste recycled irrigation water and their significant impact on the
production and nutritional value of olive oil
*Integrated and multidisciplinary approaches providing a
comprehensive view of the desert olive industry
*Provides key considerations including ecological,
biotechnological, agricultural and political impacts
