Abstract

Olive growing is mainly associated with poor agroecologycal conditions, characterized mostly with lower
nutrient availability.
Thus, the objective of this experiment was to determine the influence of synthetic zeolite A mixture (ZA),
in which the original Na+ ions were exchanged with Zn2+, Mn2+ and Fe2+ (Fe3+) ions from solutions,
and endomycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on olive leaf mineral content of Leccino cultivar grown on alkaline, calcareous
soil.
Results have shown that zeolite fertilization significantly increased Mn content in olive leaf, while other
modified zeolites application (Zn-ZA i Fe-ZA) as well as arbucular mycorrhize fungi application had no
influence on olive leaf mineral content.
