Drip irrigation is a useful tool in olive growing to optimise production, cut costs and improve quality.
The advantages drip irrigation can bring depend a lot on the soil, cultivation and climatic conditions. In more arid climates or during particularly dry seasons, adopting a drip irrigation system ensures sizeable production and allows growing high quality olives.
In modern olive growing, drip irrigation is a particularly important production element which can and should be used not only to eliminate the risks connected with unfavourable seasonality, but also and especially to control production improving its quality.
