Download or read book Olive Production Manual for Oil written by Selina C Wang and published by UCANR Publications. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The olive oil industry in California has undergone a sea change over the last decade, with acreage of oil olives surpassing that of table olives. Now UC researchers and industry leaders turn their expertise to this important market. This extensive manual covers all aspects of olive production for oil, from orchard site selection to processing of virgin olive oil. Changes fueling the growth in production are covered, including establishing high-density and super high-density orchards, the latest methods of irrigation management, and harvesting methods. The concepts presented in the book are scalable, benefiting large and niche growers alike. Topics covered include: · International and California standards for olive oil grades · Soil and nutrient management · Canopy management · Anthropod pests, including the invasive olive fruit fly and the olive psyllid · Nematode pests · Diseases · Weed management · Spray application techniques · Harvesting efficiency Written in the easy-to-use style you’ve come to expect from UC ANR and accompanied by color photos, tables, and worksheets. Each chapter leads with a bullet list of key concepts covered in the chapter. This is a “must-have” manual for everyone in the olive oil industry.
Download or read book The Chemical Story of Olive Oil written by Richard Blatchly and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing interest in olive oil, most people know very little about what it is or how it is made. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of olive oil from the tree to table, from a molecular and personal perspective. Growers often do not know what is happening at a molecular level or why certain practices produce superior or inferior results, for example, why adjusting a temperature rewards them with winning oils. This book aims to provide some of the answers as well as the importance of the chemicals responsible for the flavour and health effects. Readers will also get a deeper understanding of what makes an extra virgin olive oil authentic and how scientists are helping to fight fraud regarding this valuable commodity. Including anecdotes from growers of olives and producers of oils, the authors provide an accessible text for a wide audience from food science students to readers interested in the human story of olive oil production.
Download or read book A Model of Productivity for Olive Orchards written by A. Morales Sierra and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model of productivity for olive orchards is presented, based on a three-dimensional model of canopy radiation absorption and photosynthesis and the allocation of assimilates to growth and respiration. Assimilates are distributed using partitioning coefficients that vary throughout the year. The effect of pruning on canopy structure is included. The model was tested with measurements of leaf area, biomass production and photosynthesis during the first 4 years of a high density olive orchard cv. 'Arbequina' in Cordoba, Spain. The model overestimated fruit production by 10%, leaf area production by 12% and annual biomass aboveground production by 19%. Four additional simulations were performed to study the effects of management system (high and super-high density olive orchards) and climate (recent climate and future climate projection using the model HadRM3 for scenario A2) on photosynthesis, respiration, biomass production, canopy structure and radiation use efficiency. Under future climate conditions, the increase of photosynthesis was higher than the increase of maintenance respiration, resulting into an increase of radiation use efficiency (on average, 12%) and biomass production (32 and 18% for high and super-high density orchards, respectively). The super-high density orchard always had a higher biomass production than the high density orchard (28 and 13% for recent and future climate projection) but only increased fruit production by 4% under recent climate and decreased fruit production by 8% under future climate projection.
