Abstract:

The research problem lies in not utilizing the available fertilizer substitutes, the most abundant of which are olive trees pruning remains,which the farmers have not optimally benefited from, as well as pirine, which have become a burden on olive press owners in production regions. Therefore , this research purposes to analyze and assess the effect of utilizing pruning products and pirine in increasing olive orchards productiveness . The descriptive analytical method has been adopted , and preliminary sources obtained via implementing an experiment in Latakia district (Jannata village) in 2017 on an area (2) dunums planted with olive trees, (1) dunum used as control, (1) dunum underwent the experiment available in Tishreen University ,the Arab Center for Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands (ACSAD), and Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (Directorate of Organic Production Bureau), and Latakia Agriculture Directorate.
The results of research data analysis showed that using this fertilizer realizes net profit of 36639 S.P. per dunum. Profitability coefficient relative to production costs also reached 39.8%, whereas total economic efficiency per dunum was circa 1.4.
