This manual provides detailed information for growers on production issues, plant nutrition, economics, pest and weed control, management of olive wastes, the conversion process, and organic certification and registration. Using this manual you'll learn about orchard site selection considerations, irrigation needs, terrain, temperature, soil, damage from the olive fruit fly, and how these may vary for table fruit versus fruit for oil production. You'll also learn how to evaluate harvest methods an important consideration as harvest costs typically amount to half the total production cost for olives. This manual has been developed as a supplement to the Olive Production Manual, 2nd Edition. Organic growers are advised to consult both publications as they develop and refine their production systems.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Ok, but a little short -
This is a fairly well thought out book, but to me it seems to be missing a lot. After reading the whole book, I thought to myself where is the other half. The book is informative and has some good information, but it is certainly not as complete as I was expecting. More depth on high-density and super high-density is needed as that seems to be the wave of the future.

Olive Growers' Guide to Organic Olive Production -
A valuable source of information for those Olive growers who are particularly interested in producing organic olives. The book talks about the various aspects of organic olive production starting with site, varieties, and production systems. It discusses the economics, as well as international standards, before focusing on California olive oil industry.
The book covers the basic issues of orchards' nutrition, and pest management methods peculiar to organic production.
It is a useful refrence for those interested in Organic Olive.
Answered the questions I needed answering -
I have found this very useful so far but haven't had time to read the whole book through. I was in need of an answer to a disease problem i have on my olive trees and this is the first book I have found that gave me the answer. It seems to cover a lot of ground and i look forward to finishing it after we get the olive harvest in.
