Abstract
Susceptibility to the insectBactrocera oleae and the fungiSpilocaea oleagina andSphaeropsis dalmatica was investigated in four olive cultivars, two for table fruit production (Kalamon and Chondrolia Chalkidikis) and two for oil production (Lianolia and Koroneiki). Cv. Chondrolia Chalkidikis was the most susceptible to all three pathogens, followed by cv. Kalamon. Soil plowing and the organic fertilizer Bio-Trust® (10-3-6+8% MgCO3+10% CaCO8) increased the susceptibility of all four tested olive cultivars to the insect and the two fungi. Correlations were found between the attacks byB. oleae and infections byS. oleagina andS. dalmatica on the four olive cultivars.
