Olive Propagation Manual

Authors: Andrea Fabbri, Giorgio Bartolini, Maurizio Lambardi and Stanley George Kailis

This practical manual is a guide to olive propagation, providing extended information on seed germination, rooting of cuttings, grafting and micropropagation.

The Olive Propagation Manual has been developed to take into account the future demand for olive oil, which will require active farming programs. As the olive industry moves from traditional manual methods to mechanised operations, planting stock will need to be developed to meet future challenges. Varietal selection will need to be directed to clones that are early bearing, disease resistant, able to be mechanically harvested, and produce quality fruit and oil. This book explores these issues as well as historical perspectives, traditional methods and state-of-the-art propagation.
