This study evaluated the effects of optimal nutrition on the yield and fruit quality of olive trees in the Jabal Barez highlands, southern Iran, over two growing seasons. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three treatments: control (T1), macro-nutrients fertilizers combined with decomposed manure (T2), and treatment 2 with added micronutrients (T3). Traits such as yield, fruit characteristics, and nutrient concentrations in olive leaves were assessed. The results showed that olive yield increased by 50.7% in the first and 72.5% in the second year under T3 compared to T1, indicating the significant role of integrated optimal nutrition in enhancing productivity. Additionally, T3-treated trees demonstrated substantial improvements in fruit size, weight, and concentrations of the major nutrients, including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Micronutrient uptakes, particularly iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) were also significantly higher in T3-treated trees. Analyses revealed that the combination of chemical and organic fertilizers with micronutrients had a remarkable positive impact on overall olive productivity and fruit growth. Environmental factors, including rainfall variability and fertilizer residual effects between the two years, influenced the treatment impacts, with a stronger response observed in the second year. These findings underscore the importance of integrated nutrient management (INM) — incorporating organic and chemical fertilizers along with micronutrients — to improve fruit yield and quality. This study provides valuable insights for developing sustainable fertilization strategies for olive orchards in semi-arid regions, promoting the long-term productivity and soil health.
