The olive tree is one of the most iconic species within the Mediterranean Sea Basin. Countries bordering this sea enjoy a favourable climate that contributes to high-quality agricultural production for numerous horticultural species. The quality of the propagation material is one of the most important factors in determining the value of the final product, regardless of the cultivation-model, climate, and soil characteristics. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure genetic and sanitary certainty of vegetal/propagation material, which can be achieved through nursery productions. These goals are based on efficient propagation systems and methods to obtain high-biological quality plants. Over the last four decades, the application of biotechnology has introduced significant changes in the sector of nursery production. The Authors in this chapter aimed to present through their personal experimental experiences the latest advances in techniques and technologies that are revolutionizing the field of olive tree nurseries. While some of these methods are currently being employed, others are still undergoing research and development. Experts in this field firmly believe that all these techniques hold great practical value and have immense potential for high-quality nursery production.
橄榄树是地中海流域最具标志性的物种之一。地中海沿岸国家气候宜人，有利于多种园艺物种的高质量农业生产。无论种植模式、气候和土壤特性如何，繁殖材料的质量都是决定最终产品价值的最重要因素之一。因此，确保植物/繁殖材料的遗传和卫生确定性至关重要，这可以通过苗圃生产来实现。这些目标基于高效的繁殖系统和方法，以获得具有高生物质量的植物。在过去的四十年里，生物技术的应用给苗圃生产领域带来了重大变革。本章的作者旨在通过他们个人的实验经验，介绍正在革新橄榄树苗圃领域的技术和工艺的最新进展。虽然其中一些方法目前正在使用，但其他一些仍在研发中。该领域的专家坚信，所有这些技术都具有巨大的实用价值，对高质量的苗圃生产具有巨大潜力。
