Olive growers' preferences regarding agro-environmental programs.

There is a need for analysis to support decision-making regarding agri-environmental policy. This study analyzes the preferences of Andalusian olive growers regarding this policy, particularly regarding the adoption of ecological focus areas (EFAs) and agri-environmental practices. The results show that these preferences vary depending on the olive grove system.

Irrigation of olive trees with water infested by Verticillium dahliae.

Factors such as the type and concentration of inoculum of the defoliating pathotype of Verticillium dahliae in irrigation, root wounding of the olive tree, and the number of irrigation campaigns are considered for their effects on Verticillium wilt in the cultivar 'Picual' and the density of residual inoculum of the fungus in the soil.
