Effects of 9 commercial bio-stimulants in two table olive varieties (Kalamon & Hondroelia) production and infestation rates

Abstract

This study, carried out in Panaitolio, Greece, assessed the efficacy of nine bio-stimulants in enhancing the production, fruit quality, and infestation levels of Kalamon and Hondroelia olive trees. The experiment involved the application of several items to both types, as well as a control group. The results demonstrated notable disparities across the treatments, emphasizing the effectiveness of certain bio-stimulants in improving the performance of olive trees. The statistical analysis has verified the importance of these findings. In summary, this research offers vital information on choosing suitable bio-stimulants that are customized to specific goals. This, in turn, improves the sustainability and quality of olive production while reducing the impact of pests.
