Foliar fertilization of olives

Abstract

Foliar fertilization of olives is an important technological aspect in modern olive growing. Due to the large leaf area that the olive tree has, the application of foliar fertilizers is very effective. It is especially important to apply foliar fertilizers when growing olives on shallow, rocky soils and in conditions of drought and high temperatures. Depending on the state of nutrients in the soil and the technology of olive cultivation, a large number of different foliar fertilizers for successful fertilization of olives are available on the market.
