Summary

The effect of N6-benzyladenine (BA) on the ripening processes in green 'Konservolia' olives harvested in October was investigated. Fruits were treated with BA concentrations and held at 12 and 25 °C. The higher temperature accelerated skin colour development and firmness loss and also increased ethylene production and respiration rates. At both temperatures, BA stimulated colour development, ethylene production and respiration rates but did not affect fruit firmness.
