Abstract

In parallel with the increase in the world's population, agricultural industry wastes increase from year to year. The olive oil mills come to the forefront among the industrial wastes based on the agriculture. In particular, these wastes are rich in nutrients and can be used as a source of organic matter. In the present study, we tried to determine the usability of olive oil mills including olive pomace, olive pomace oil and olive mill wastewater (OMW) in wheat breeding. In the study, germination rate (%), plant height (cm), root length (cm), fresh and dry weight of plant were investigated. The highest germination rate was 84% for olive pomace oil and 30.67% for olive pomace. All parameters in olive pomace application showed low values, and the highest plant height (22.07 cm) was obtained in OMW application. The results of the study showed that olive pomace oil and olive mill wastewater can be used effectively in wheat farming.
Increasing global population leads to a rise in agricultural industry waste, with olive oil mills being a prominent contributor. This study explores the potential use of olive pomace, olive pomace oil, and olive mill wastewater in wheat breeding.
