Analysis of variance of fruit set in the four olive cultivars evaluated in the Adriatic and Ionic orchards.
| Source of variation | df | Fruit set |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Adriatic coast | Ionic coast | ||
| Type of pollination (P) | 1 | 1,058.68*** | 682.80*** |
| Fruit set timing (T) | 2 | 11.20*** | 32.79*** |
| Genotype (G) | 3 | 229.17*** | 80.57*** |
| P × T | 2 | 1.78 | 1.23 |
| P × G | 3 | 51.64*** | 58.30*** |
| T × G | 6 | 0.21 | 3.23 |
| P × T × G | 6 | 0.12 | 0.21 |
| Error | 96 | 1.44 | 3.86 |
A complete randomized design was applied, considering the interactions between the main factors: type of pollination (P), fruit set timing (T), and genotypes (G). ∗∗∗ significant differences at p < 0.001.
