Abstract:
Soil amendment with olive cake produced from olive mills waste (olive pomace/cake) is an ordinary practice in olive producing countries in the Middle East. It is used to improve soil physical and chemical properties as well as cheep waste management approach. But, the olive cake contains small percentage of residual oil which may affect water holding capacity of soil and penetration rate in agricultural lands. The data provided in this article shows the influence of adding olive pomace to clay and sand clay soils in terms of water holding capacity (WHC), penetration depth and accumulate intake.

Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...
