Determination of Coefficients and Biomass Potential for Pruning Residuals in Some Olive Varieties

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: As a result of pruning operations in olive orchards, large amounts of biomass material are produced every year. In this study, it was aimed to determine the pruning residual coefficients in olive varieties grown in Southern Marmara Region of Turkey. Amount of pruning residuals and its energy potential due to olive cultivation of the region was determined.. The coefficients were compared with the values obtained from different countries. Possible uses of the residual biomass were also investigated. The study material consisted of young (0-25 years), full-yield (25-50 years) and old (over 50 years) trees of Ayvalık, Gemlik and Domat, widely grown olive varieties in the Southern Marmara Region. The experiment used a randomized plot design sampling 5 trees for each age and variety. The average coefficients of determination for pruning residues were calculated as 33.62 kg tree-1year-1 and 5668.63 kg ha-1year-1. Energy potential from pruning residues were determined to be 5.16 PJ for Southern Marmara Development Region.
