The results of research on the water relations and irrigation needs of olive are collated and
summarised in an attempt to link fundamental studies on crop physiology to irrigation …

The water uptake rate is a key parameter for improving irrigation efficiency and represents
an indicator of tree health and yield. Here, we investigate the potential of C-band Synthetic …

Improving current approaches to quantify the transpiration of fruit trees is needed for water
allocation purposes and to enhance the precision of water applications under full and deficit …

Deficit irrigation practices carried out in very high-density olive orchards grown in the
Alentejo region of southern Portugal can bring important economic benefits in terms of water …

The vegetation index (VI)-reference evapotranspiration (ET o) method incorporates the
estimation of basal crop coefficients from spectral VIs into the FAO56 guidelines for …

The impact of different irrigation scheduling regimes on the quantity and quality of olive oil
from a low-density olive grove in southern Portugal was assessed during the irrigation …

Understanding the plant water-uptake dynamics and behavior in olive orchards is an area of
much interest, particularly for efforts to optimize the use and application of water resources …

A long-term experiment was conducted to study water use of olive trees in a six-year-old,
deficit irrigated, intensive olive orchard ('Arbequina') in one of the driest regions of Southern …

Sapflow was measured applying heat balance method on sample trees of a high density
(spacing 4 m× 2 m) orchard between the age of 4–7 years from 1 of May to 31 of August …

Written for professionals and students in agricultural fields, this book addresses current
problems associated with water supplies required for agricultural purposes and food …
