Environmental and Agro-Economic Sustainability of Olive Orchards Irrigated with Reclaimed Water under Deficit Irrigation

Sustainability, 2023
Increasing the economic and environmental sustainability of irrigated agriculture is a vital challenge for the Mediterranean crop production sector. This study explores the effects of the adoption of reclaimed water (RW) as source of irrigation in conjunction with the application of deficit irrigation strategies in an olive orchard (different genotypes)

Assessing the impact of deficit irrigation strategies on agronomic and productive parameters of Menara olive cultivar: implications for operational water management

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
The olive tree is an iconic tree in the Mediterranean region, traditionally cultivated under rainfed conditions; however, olive cultivars are also found outside the Mediterranean region and are widely used for oil and olive production.

Effect of Regulated Deficit Irrigation on the Quality of ‘Arbequina’ Extra Virgin Olive Oil Produced on a Super-High-Intensive Orchard

Agronomy, 2022
The expansion of the super-high-intensive cultivation of olive groves requires irrigation techniques that are compatible with the increasing scarcity of water due to climate change and olive oil demand.

DECLINE AND RECOVERY OF HEDGEROW WALNUTS FROM SUSTAINED DEFICIT IRRIGATION [PDF]

HortScience, 1992
Mature hedgerow walnut trees ( Juglans regia L. cv. Chico) were irrigated at rates of 33, 67, and 100% of potential orchard ETc (about 350, 700, and 1050 mm/season, respectively) for three years. All trees were then returned to 100% ETc for the subsequent three year period.

Agro-physiological response of potato to “sustainable” deficit irrigation in the plain of Saïs, Morocco [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Morocco is one of the countries who’s facing an insufficient water supply for irrigation, therefore it is seeking for new technologies allowing irrigation management evolution. Deficit irrigation is for this reason one of the recommended approaches to deal with this alarming situation.

Modulation of the Berry Skin Transcriptome of cv. Tempranillo Induced by Water Stress Levels

Plants, 2023
Climate change in the Mediterranean area is making summers warmer and dryer. Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is mostly important for wine production in Mediterranean countries, and the variety Tempranillo is one of the most cultivated in Spain and Portugal.

The impacts of deficit irrigation on crop production and sustainable soil management

, 2022
Growing issues of water scarcity around the planet highlight a need for more efficient use of agricultural water. Deficit irrigation (DI) offers a promising option to reduce water use with relatively small impacts on crop yield, when properly managed.

Deficit irrigation and sustainable water-resource strategies in agriculture for China’s food security [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015
More than 70% of fresh water is used in agriculture in many parts of the world, but competition for domestic and industrial water use is intense. For future global food security, water use in agriculture must become sustainable. Agricultural water-use efficiency and water productivity can be improved at different points from the stomatal to the ...
