Description

Important and scarce scientific monograph on Greek olive cultivation, authored by Panos Th. Anagnostopoulos (1883–1964), one of the leading figures of modern Greek agronomy and arboriculture.

Published in Athens in 1931, this landmark study was officially awarded by the Academy of Athens, recognizing its outstanding scholarly contribution. The work remains a foundational reference on Mediterranean olive culture, combining historical research, botanical science, and practical agricultural methodology.

The volume is richly illustrated with 164 figures, 138 of which are original, and includes at the end a large folding coloured chart of olive cultivation in Greece (approx. 40 × 60 cm), an element very often missing and here preserved. A table of contents in English underscores the book’s international academic orientation.

Contents Include

  • History of the olive tree

  • Botanical characteristics

  • Olive varieties

  • Propagation methods

  • Budding and grafting

  • Animal parasites and diseases
