Olive (Olea europaea) has a very high tendency for year-to-year deviation in yield (alternate
bearing), which has a negative economic impact on the olive oil industry. Among possible …

Olive (Olea europaea) demonstrates a high tendency toward alternate fruit production, with
significant negative consequences on the industry. Fruit load is one of the main cause-and-…

We tested the hypothesis that whole-tree water consumption of olives (Olea europaea L.) is
fruit load-dependent and investigated the driving physiological mechanisms. Fruit load was …

Brackish water (7dSm −1 ) is frequently utilized to drip-irrigate crops in the Negev desert of
Israel, the practice being to use deep sandy soils (96% sand) to avoid soil salinization. When …

Roots are the first plant organ to encounter, sense, and respond to soil salinity. Like for
many moderately salt tolerant species, roots of olive (Olea eurpaea) trees are the principal …

Production of spring potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Désirée) on a deep sandy soil in the
central highland of the Negev desert of Israel under drip irrigation with saline water (up to 6.2…

Studying the composition of olive oil requires cold‐press olive oil extraction. One of the most
common laboratorial mills is the Abencor system. However, its operation protocol was …

Global climate change and the expected increase in temperature are altering the relationship
between geography and grapevine (V. vinifera) varietal performance, and the implications …

The effects of shading on lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) floral transition, plant development,
flower yield and quality, and content of starch and soluble sugars were assessed in …

While the intensification of olive cultivation has brought about increased yields and allowed
the expansion of olive production to arid and saline environments, alternate bearing – a …
