Water is one of the most important factors in increasing agricultural yield. When a plant's minimum water requirement is met accurately—without over-irrigation—numerous agronomic benefits emerge. These include healthier root development, improved fruit quality, and overall plant vitality.
Driptime’s precision irrigation systems deliver water directly to the root zone at the right time and in the right amount. This not only helps regulate leaf temperature but also enhances photosynthesis, leading to healthier plants and greater yield potential.
In the case of olive trees, controlled irrigation has been shown to improve the sensory qualities of olive oil. While irrigation does not significantly alter peroxide levels, spectrophotometric indices, or oleic acid content, it does enhance the flavor profile. Smart irrigation supports higher concentrations of volatile compounds that define the oil’s aromatic and taste characteristics.
Based on our discussions with growers, table olive quality has improved from 25% to over 50% in drip irrigation projects. Another customer reported an average yield of 40–45 kg of olives per tree. With a well-managed drip irrigation and fertigation program, both oil and table olive varieties have shown improved fruit set and significant increases in fruit size.
For sustainable and high-quality olive production, we invite you to discover the benefits of Driptime irrigation solutions.
