OLIVE FRUIT ABSCISSION: ANATOMICAL OBSERVATIONS FOLLOWING APPLICATION OF ETHYLENE-RELEASING COMPOUND |
| Authors: | S. Bartolini, C. Cantini, C. Vitagliano |
| Abstract:
Various ethylene-releasing compounds (ERC's) were used in order to increase fruit removal and improve mechanical harvesting. The study was undertaken on two cultivars ("Frantoio" and "Leccino") to determine whether there are variations in site of the abscission zone during fruit-ripening stages. Ethrel treatment was applied at 2000 ppm and various abscission zones were identified that are differently activated during fruit development. | |
