Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted in order to utilize the olive pomace, the solid waste left over from the oil processing of olives, which is widely cultivated, especially in Mediterranean countries, and to consider it a raw material that has added value instead of being considered waste. Some of these research are focused on establishing the re-utilization of olive pomace in agricultural production. Although some studies have reported that olive pomace can be utilized as fertilizer, soil improvement regulator, solid media culture, and even mulching material, this study was carried out due to the lack of sufficient scientific data on whether or not this material can be used as a growth medium in the cultivation of potted grapevine saplings. The study was carried out by growing ungrafted grapevine saplings of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Hatun Parmağı on media with peat and olive pomace at different ratios for six months, and then some vegetative growth parameters were examined. Due to the elevated olive pomace ratios in the growth medium, shoot and root growth of the grapevine saplings were restricted. The chlorophyll index and root fresh weight decreased dramatically when more than 25% (v/v) and 20% (v/v) crude pomace were available in the growth medium, respectively. Moreover, the availability of olive pomace in the medium significantly reduced shoot length, number of leaves, shoot weight, and leaf weight of grapevine saplings, regardless of the amount of olive pomace. However, it was found that 15% (v/v) or less of crude olive pomace could be utilized in growth medium mixtures when growing potted grapevine saplings; however, higher ratios would prevent the saplings from attaining marketable quality. While designing new studies, examining different grape varieties, fruit species, and lower olive pomace ratios would contribute to new and more comprehensive findings on the utilization of olive pomace in growing potted saplings.
