Although olive trees are adapted to arid climates, they provide higher yields and quality with regular and sufficient irrigation. The water consumption of olive trees varies depending on factors such as the age, variety, and size of the tree, soil structure, and the climatic conditions of the region.
In general, the water consumption and needs of olive trees can be summarized as follows:
Beginning of Development and Development Period (April-May): During this period, the water need of olive trees is high. The presence of sufficient moisture in the soil supports the development of new shoots and flower clusters.
Flowering Period (May-June): During the flowering period, trees need less water. However, water deficiency in this period can cause flower drop.
Fruit Growth Period (June-July): Water need is at its highest level for fruit set and growth. Regular irrigation during this period supports fruit growth and increases its quality.
Ripening Period (July-September): Water need continues in this period when the fruits ripen. Irrigation is important, especially during hot and dry summer months.
Annual Water Consumption: Olive trees need water equivalent to an average of 600-800 mm of rainfall annually. This amount is necessary for the healthy development of the tree and for it to yield productive crops.
During periods when rainfall is insufficient, and especially in the summer months, the water need should be met with irrigation. If irrigation is not performed, water deficiency adversely affects the vegetative and generative development of the trees, reduces the amount of product, and lowers the quality.
