The effect of boron and zinc applications on yield and quality of fruit along with branch bending on Gemlik olive trees

The aim of This study was to determine the effect of boron and zinc spray on the branch-bending of olive trees.The foliar aplication was made in december , february and april. After treatments we obtained the yield and fruit quality, the contents of macro and micro elements in the leaves as well.Concerning the protect of verticillium and pseudomonas syrıngae.It has been prefered the branch-bending treatments on the young olive trees to avoid the pruning wounds. The Boron and zinc application increased the B and Zn level in the leaves. Of treated olive trees. The effects of treatments on the yield and fruit quality were sometimes not significant because of alternate ? bearing.In May i the leaf samples with boric acid , zinc (Zn) fertilization of the plant leaf by leaf analysis nutrient content (%-ppm), plants in the micro-elements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu) and macro elements (K, Mg, Ca) determination, 100 olive grain weight, fruit weight in the core, grain weight / core weight ratio, % olive oil content, pomological properties; fruit width (mm), fruit length (mm), fruit weight (g), kernel weight (g), fruit ratio (height / width), fruit meat weight (g), fruit meat ratio (%), fruit meat / core ratio (%) is to research issues.The Content of boron aplication of zinc content is stil 0.5 % Zinc and 0.1 % B were spraying a single dose .
