Determining evapotranspiration in an olive orchard in southwest Spain
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2012)
The aim of this work was to evaluate, for an olive orchard in the Aljarafe county, the method developed by Orgaz et al. (2005) for determining the crop evapotranspiration (ETc). We compared the calculated ETc (ETc Orgaz) ...

Assessing a crop water stress index derived from aerial thermal imaging and infrared thermometry in super-high density olive orchards
(Elsevier, 2017)
Characterization of the spatio-temporal variability of tree water status is a prerequisite to conducting precise irrigation management in fruit tree orchards. This study assessed the suitability of a crop water stress index ...

Suitability of Two Table Olive Cultivars (‘Manzanilla de Sevilla’ and ‘Manzanilla Cacereña’) for Mechanical Harvesting in Superhigh-density Hedgerows
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2014)
At a time of increasing demand, the extremely high cost of manual labor required to harvest fruit in table olive groves is limiting the economic survival of the crop in many producing countries. New grove designs and ...

An index from sap flow records to schedule irrigation in super-high density olive orchards
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2013)
Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI), recommended for super-high density (SHD) olive orchards, requires a precise control of irrigation. Water must be supplied on the phenological stages when the plant is most sensitive ...

Limitations and usefulness of maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) and trunk growth rate (TGR) indicators in the irrigation scheduling of table olive trees
(Elsevier, 2016)
Maximum daily trunk shrinkage (MDS) is the most popular indicator derived from trunk diameter fluctuations in most fruit trees and has been reported to be one of the earliest signs in the detection of water stress. However, ...

Influence of the soil water content and distribution on both the hydraulic and transpiration performance of 'Manzanilla' olive trees
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2011-03)
This work was made with mature 'Manzanilla' olive trees in an orchard of a semi-arid area in southern Spain. Three water treatments were considered: Rainfed, in which the trees had rainfall as the only source of water ...

Eficiencia de la recolección mecánica y efecto sobre la calidad de la producción en plantaciones superintensivas de variedades de aceituna de mesa
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Hortícolas, 2015)
Las plantaciones superintensivas de olivar (Olea europaea L.), con densidades superiores a los 1.000 árboles por hectárea, se han convertido en una interesante alternativa al cultivo de olivar de almazara en la que el ...
