CHARACTERISTICS
FERTILIZING cHaracterIstics FOR olivEs
rOOT
It develops one or several main roots and lateral roots. In plants grown from seed, a taproot develops first, but after transplanting, it becomes atrophied and is replaced by a fibrous root system.
In plants propagated from semi-woody cuttings rooted under mist, two or three main roots develop, and after transplanting, a fibrous system forms.
LEAVES
The leaves are evergreen, lanceolate, with a very short petiole, and leathery in texture.
FLOWERS
Flowers appear in clusters of up to 40, and are bisexual or polygamous, with four white petals and two anthers, grouped in inflorescences.
FRUIT
0 drupe. The fruit is very oily, measuring between 1 and 3.5 cm in length. It is green at first, later turning a dark wine-black color.

ORGANIC AMENDMENTS
The application of organic amendments to the soil is a crucial aspect.
In general, it is recommended to apply stabilized and sanitized organic products to reduce the potential risks associated with using raw organic matter, such as nitrogen immobilization, release of phytotoxic compounds, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, weed seeds, etc. Additionally, organic amendments and fertilizers should contain heavy metals at levels below the maximum limits established by current regulations.
