Ten years old trees that yield good crops used for making quality olive oil. Mediterranean climate enables olive trees to live without irrigation. In modern agriculture olive trees are being irrigated from spring to fall. On the other hand, olive trees are sensitive to excess of water, thus it is important to discharge the proper rate that fits the the tree size and type of soil. We use the “Micro-Drip” irrigation made by Rain-Tal Ltd. The drip emitters discharges about 0.5L/H and 3 to 4 are placed around each tree. The water flow is operated continuously during all the days of the week, starting from March till October. The continuous water flow prevents formation of sediments at the drippers outlets and therefore clogging of drippers is avoided. Obviously this is a superior water saving method. Further details of our irrigation method are provided in our website, link: http://www.olive-oil-farm.co.il/moreng.html Bi-Annual Alternate Bearing in Olive crops is known all over the Mediterranean. During the last several years we found that our crops are at the higher level every year. We relate this moderation of the Alternate Bearing to our unique irrigation method.
