The olive is a crop perfectly adapted to our climatic conditions, especially the distribution over the year of rains. It has a hot powerful root system and regulation at the level of the sheet prevents water loss through transpiration in the months.
Because this adaptation, in the presence of low volumes of water can produce a positive response, both in training and studded with flowers (April), and vegetative growth (may June) and oil production (August September).
Recently, study has been conducted on the farm of a member of the Cooperative Remedies Picasat, in which it has been shown that the incorporation of 7,7 m3 / ha of water in the total campaign, during periods aforementioned, increased oil yield relative to the control occurs in upland.
The system consists of a perforated PVC pipe of 0,7 meters high and 0,15 meters in diameter, incorporating in-depth 0,5 meters by ahoyadora and leaving 20 centimeters in the aerial part.
Our technical service considers that the introduction of this irrigation system is totally precarious feasible and viable, due to the low investment involved installation and the advantages in terms of production and yield fatty
