Olive trees are long-lived deciduous trees originating from the Mediterranean region, thriving in hot and dry climates, and are now being successfully trialed and expanded in select regions of Vietnam with similar conditions. Although olives are drought-tolerant, they have specific water needs during key growth stages. Implementing an automatic olive irrigation solution can improve yields, stabilize oil quality, and reduce labor costs.
While olive trees can grow in arid environments, achieving optimal yields and high oil quality depends on precise and timely irrigation.
Optimal method for olives, especially in arid regions, sandy soils, or sloping terrain.
Drip systems can be combined with automated fertigation, enhancing nutrient uptake and reducing labor costs.
Flow rates should be adjusted according to tree age and growth stage (young trees, flowering, fruit development).
Place drip lines around the canopy to ensure even moisture distribution to the root zone, avoiding dry spots.
Suitable during the early stages or in regions with moderate climates and sufficient water supply.
Use narrow-range spray heads (0.5–1.5 m radius) to direct water near the root zone, reducing runoff and water waste.
Install spray heads 30–50 cm above ground to lessen evaporation loss, especially in hot seasons.
Watering should occur in the early morning or late afternoon to maximize efficiency and prevent thermal shock to the trees.
Avoid excessive irrigation when fruits are nearing ripeness, as this can dilute oil concentration; proper timing enhances final olive oil quality.
Mulch around the base with organic material like straw or bark to improve moisture retention, reduce irrigation needs, and suppress weeds.
Arrange drip lines in rings or dual rows around the root zone, depending on tree age and planting density.
System architecture: Water source → filter → main & lateral lines → drip emitters around the tree.
Fertigation through this system boosts nutrient uptake and lowers manual labor.
Ideal for orchards using organic or smart farming practices.
Install root or canopy micro-sprinklers on stakes 30–50 cm high with low flow to maintain soil moisture without damaging young foliage.
Ensure good drainage if used in areas with high rainfall or poorly drained soils.
For heavy soils, consider improving structure with rice hulls, compost, or sand to enhance drainage.
During rainy seasons, reduce irrigation frequency and add drainage channels around trees to prevent waterlogging.
Young Trees (1–2 years): Maintain consistent soil moisture for root and canopy development.
Flowering & Fruit Set: Ensure sufficient irrigation to improve fruit set rates and reduce premature fruit drop.
Pre-Harvest: Gradually reduce watering to elevate oil concentration and improve ripeness and storage quality.
Driptec dripline is the Thin-wall dripline with some outstanding features such as diverse thickness, emitter spacing and flow rate. Especially the driplines are produced on modern, highly automated technological lines, quality has been verified for more than 10 years in the Vietnamese market.
