Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Total water soluble phenols were the main bioindicator of alternatives.
- Intervention effect Copper oxychloride had significantly higher TWSP than zero copper and other treatments.
- Intervention effect Vermicompost tea had significantly higher TWSP than zero copper and other treatments.
- Intervention effect These treatments stimulated olive fruit antioxidant capacity.
- Intervention effect These treatments reduced olive leaf spot incidence.
- Observation Soil copper content fell approximately 50% from 2018 to 2020 during organic conversion.
- Recommendation The authors conclude vermicompost tea could replace copper for olive leaf spot mitigation.
- Observation Reduced copper application had not reduced accumulation to satisfactory levels.
- Recommendation Further work toward complete replacement of copper fungicides is recommended.
