Protection measures used in an organic system of production of olives

Uzgoj maslina na obalnom i otočnom području Hrvatske ima tisućljetnu tradiciju. Najznačajnije bolesti masline su paunovo oko i rak masline, a od štetnika maslinova muha, maslinin moljac, maslinin svrdlaš, jasminov moljac i maslinin trips. Istraživanje je provedeno u Ravnim kotarima, mjesto Polača, u nasadu ekološkog maslinika poljoprivredne zadruge Maslina i vino. Praćenje pojave bolesti i štetnika masline provedeno je od siječnja do studenog 2016. godine. Preventivna ekološka zaštita vršena je 8 puta protiv bolesti i štetnika, s tri folijarne prihrane. Rezultati provedene zaštite su vrlo dobri te je dobiveno maslinovo ulje vrlo visoke kvalitete.The olive cultivation on coastal and insular Croatian territory is a centuries old tradition. The most important diseases that can affect olives are: olive peacock spot and olive knot, while the pests include: olive fruit fly, olive moth, olive fruit curculio, jasmine moth, and olive thrips. The research has been conducted in Polača, Ravni Kotari, at the ecological olive plantation of the agricultural cooperative Maslina i Vino. The monitoring of the occurrence of olive diseases and pests was carried out from January to November 2016. Ecologically acceptable protection of olives from diseases and pests were done eight times, including three foliar fertilizations. The prevention has been quite successful leading to a production of a high quality olive oil
