Abstract
Techniques currently available for olive plant propagation are described with particular attention to practical and scientific aspects, in order to make olive nurserymen and growers acquainted with the up-to-date knowledge on this subject. Seed propagation is firstly illustrated step by step, from seed supplying to seedlings care, followed by the vegetative propagation techniques. After a short account on ovule and rooted sucker techniques, no longer used owing to the low propagation efficiency, the grafting of olive plant is presented in all its variants and applications. Furthermore, woody and semi herbaceous cutting propagation is extensively examined from physiological, anatomical and technical point of view. Finally, results obtained up today on olive micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis and artificial seed are considered in order to provide operators with the main
features of these biotechnologies. It is concluded with some considerations on advantages or weakness of grafted or self-rooted olive plants and the perspectives of application of in vitro propagation procedures.
