This book aims to provide immediate, useful knowledge to the olive grower. It intends to become their "go-to guide," whether they are new or more experienced. In its chapters, you will learn: 

• How to correctly take soil and leaf samples. How to easily and quickly identify nutrient deficiencies through a plethora of photographs. 
• How to decide on fertilization and how to simply and practically calculate the amounts of fertilizers (either for soil or foliar fertilization). 
• How to recognize olive infestations and diseases, and how to primarily address them using biological methods. 
• How to prune productively, through easy and understandable steps and explanatory diagrams. 
• How to organize and execute the olive harvest with the least possible effort and cost, using the appropriate tools.
• What are the best practices and what you should pay attention to and avoid! 
• How to understand when it is the right time for olive harvesting. 
• How to maintain your tools, how to store them, and what tasks you need to perform immediately after the olive harvest. 

You will find answers to questions you had and no one answered, but you will also learn small secrets and "tricks" that will make your life as an olive grower easier. 

You will find detailed information on the necessary, prohibited, and optional tools you need in olive cultivation along with advice on choosing the right ones, their pros and cons, and ways to maintain them. 

Finally, you will find useful addresses and information on permissible pesticides, personal protective measures during spraying, etc., beneficial organisms and where you can find them, as well as a plethora of other useful information. 

The edition aims to create a practical guide to cultivation practices and actions for recognizing and addressing infestations, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies to achieve the best possible result, which is, of course, the production of excellent olives (for table olives) and olive oil (for oil production). 

The explanations presented are not necessarily rendered in a 100% scientific manner and corresponding terminology, but in a descriptive and understandable language for the average grower who does not have scientific knowledge, nor wishes to be taught it. In no way does it aim at the scientific rendering and understanding of concepts that pertain to the field of knowledge of agronomists and agricultural science in general.
