Summer deficit-irrigation strategies in a hedgerow olive orchard cv. ‘Arbequina’: effect on fruit characteristics and yield (2011, background): “Many experiments have been carried out in traditional olive orchards, but their responses to water have limited applicability to new intensive orchards (Connor 2005), mainly because hedgerow canopies occupy less volume while having higher external surface areas.”
Comparative impacts of water stress on the leaf anatomy of a drought-resistant and a drought-sensitive olive cultivar (2010, background): “Furthermore, olive trees are able to tolerate dehydration and thus sustain a large internal water deficit, yet maintain sufficient metabolic activity for survival (Connor, 2005; Ennajeh et al., 2008; 2009).”
Effects of different irrigation regimes on a super-high-density olive grove cv. “Arbequina”: vegetative growth, productivity and polyphenol content of the oil (2016, background): “Irrigation is a particularly important component in SHD orchards as the trees have a limited size of the root zone, a high leaf area index and, as a consequence, high water demands (Connor 2005; Cuevas et al. 2013).”
