Yield and Water Productivity Responses to Irrigation Cut-off Strategies after Fruit Set Using Stem Water Potential Thresholds in a Super-High Density Olive Orchard

An increase in the land area dedicated to super-high density olive orchards has occurred in Chile in recent years. Such modern orchards have high irrigation requirements, and optimizing water use is a priority. Moreover, this region presents low water availability, which makes necessary to establish...

description An increase in the land area dedicated to super-high density olive orchards has occurred in Chile in recent years. Such modern orchards have high irrigation requirements, and optimizing water use is a priority. Moreover, this region presents low water availability, which makes necessary to establish irrigation strategies to improve water productivity. An experiment was conducted during four consecutive growing seasons (2010-2011 to 2013-2014) to evaluate the responses of yield and water productivity to irrigation cut-off strategies. These strategies were applied after fruit set using midday stem water potential (Ψ ) thresholds in a super-high density olive orchard (cv. Arbequina), located in the Pencahue Valley, Maule Region, Chile. The experimental design was completely randomized with four irrigation cut-off treatments based on the Ψ thresholds and four replicate plots per treatment (five trees per plot). Similar to commercial growing conditions in our region, the Ψ in the T treatment was maintained between -1.4 and -2.2 MPa (100% of actual evapotranspiration), while T , T and T treatments did not receive irrigation from fruit set until they reached a Ψ threshold of approximately -3.5, -5.0, and -6.0 MPa, respectively. Once the specific thresholds were reached, irrigation was restored and maintained as T in all treatments until fruits were harvested. Yield and its components were not significantly different between T and T , but fruit yield and total oil yield, fruit weight, and fruit diameter were decreased by the T and T treatments. Moreover, yield showed a linear response with water stress integral (S ), which was strongly influenced by fruit load. Total oil content (%) and pulp/stone ratio were not affected by the different irrigation strategies. Also, fruit and oil water productivities were significantly greater in T and T than in the T and T . Moreover, the T , T , and T treatments averaged 37, 51, and 72 days without irrigation which represented 75-83, 62-76, and 56-70% of applied water compared with T , respectively. These results suggest that using the T irrigation cut-off strategy could be applied in a super-high density olive orchard (cv. Arbequina) because it maintained yields, saving 20% of the applied water.
