Abstract

Period of economic exploitation of olive-growes is about 50 years. After that period it would be necessary to realise the regeneration of tree. Beside regeneration of old age olive trees it is also necessary to conduct regeneration of trees damaged by fire or cold. There are three models of tree regeneration: regeneration model on trunk, regeneration model of tree top and regeneration model by intensive cutting. The model that should be applied is dependent on reason that caused necessity for regeneration and also dependent on stage of tree damage. Imbalance between root system and above-ground part of plant causes intensive growth of regenerated tree and fast transition to reproductive period. In old olive-growes additional-planting with another cultivars and pollinators is recommended. For quality final regeneration of olive trees intensified application of plant nutrition and regularly agrotechnics is required.
