Abstract

The work had for objective to evaluate the performance of cultivar olive trees of clonal garden aimed this propagation for cutting. The clonal garden was installed in March 2008, with ridges of 40 cm depth and four spacement between plants and the first cut had been evaluated in February 2009. Were evaluated three olive varieties (‘Arbequina’, ‘Grappolo 541’ and ‘Ascolano 315’) and four spacement between plants (February 2009). The experimental design was blocks with parcels subdivided in the space and five repetitions. The parcels had been constituted of three lines of one meter length, spaced between itself in one meter, with two, three, four and five plants in each line. For evaluation, the plants had been trimmed the 20 cm height of ground, after 12 months of culture, being evaluated the plant height (m), diameter of plant (mm), average length of branches (m), income in number of cutting and accumulated total green mass (kg). In almost all characteristics, better resulted had been observed in ‘Ascolano 315’, being bigger average branches length with density of 3 and 5 plants for meter.
