Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Small olive transplants had higher growth rates than large ones.
- Observation Tree height and trunk cross-sectional area differences between transplant sizes diminished over time.
- Observation Large transplants had significantly fewer primary branches, indicating greater transplant stress.
- Observation Severe winter temperatures at Jay damaged Arbosana and Koroneiki trees.
- Observation Severe winter temperatures at Jay damaged Koroneiki trees, with high mortality and poor recovery growth.
- Association Olive root growth was influenced mainly by environmental factors rather than cultivar or transplant size.
- Observation Total root length declined from 4 to 9 months after transplant.
- Observation Total root length remained stable from 9 to 20 months after transplant.
- Observation Most olive roots were within 20 to 40 cm soil depth.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Arbequina may be suitable for commercial cultivation in the region.
