<pre>Dear Saad,

In Sardinia, in fields at just about 30 km from the sea, I experienced that
in spring high rates of humidity or fog can produce problems to pollination
to our local varieties (mainly Tonda di Cagliari) and greatly decrease the %
of flowers on the grapes, expecially in areas with a few wind.
The only remedy I can suggest to you is to keep a good K % in the soil,
doing fertilizations if necessary.

Best regards


Paolo

Subject: [OliveOil] Humidity and olive


Hello everybody,

I am a moroccan new grower and I heard recently about problems with
humidity. I began planting two years ago. My olive trees are 30 km far
from the Atlantic Ocean, near Rabat - the capital, and we sometime have
a deep foggy weather. The growing seems to be normal, but since I made
no crop I can't say if humidity has an effect on it. Did someone
experiment such a climate ? Is there some olive varieties resistent to
humidity and to the parasites that come with it ?

Thanks for your advices. Best regards.

Saâd
