During the years 2005 and 2006, testing of the olive plant material on the presence of olive viruses was conducted for the first time in Croatia. The samples for testing were collected from twenty five locations in commercial olive orchards, from traditional olive growing areas. All samples were teseted on the presence of eight virus types: ArMV, CMV, CLRV, OLV-1, OLV-2, OLRV, OLYaV and SLRV. The results of analyses conducted by using the RT-PCR method, confirmed the presence of viruses in 25% of samples, and four virus types were confirmed: OLYaV - Olive leaf yellowing-associated virus, CMV - Cucumber mosaic virus, OLV-2 - Olive latent virus 2 and SLRV – Strawberry latent ringspot virus. Presence of CMV was confirmed on Istarska bjelica and Lastovka samples, SLRV was confirmed on Levantinka and Oblica samples, OLV-2 was confirmed on Lastovka samples, OLYaV was confirmed on Bjelica, Istarska bjelica, Lastovka and Levantinka samples. Samples of Buža, Perišićeva mastrinka and Rosulja cultivars were free from tested viruses.

Abstract
During the years 2005 and 2006, testing of the olive plant material on the presence of olive viruses was conducted for the first time in Croatia. The samples for testing were collected from twenty five locations in commercial olive orchards, from traditional olive growing areas. All samples were teseted on the presence of eight virus types: ArMV, CMV, CLRV, OLV-1, OLV-2, OLRV, OLYaV and SLRV. The results of analyses conducted by using the RT-PCR method, confirmed the presence of viruses in 25% of samples, and four virus types were confirmed: OLYaV - Olive leaf yellowing-associated virus, CMV - Cucumber mosaic virus, OLV-2 - Olive latent virus 2 and SLRV – Strawberry latent ringspot virus. Presence of CMV was confirmed on Istarska bjelica and Lastovka samples, SLRV was confirmed on Levantinka and Oblica samples, OLV-2 was confirmed on Lastovka samples, OLYaV was confirmed on Bjelica, Istarska bjelica, Lastovka and Levantinka samples. Samples of Buža, Perišićeva mastrinka and Rosulja cultivars were free from tested viruses.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
