  The improvement of water productivity in olive cultivation and its production on sustainable basis in areas marked as water deficit. The most essential, natural and cheapest water resource in such water-prone areas of the world is rainfall. The collection and constructive use of rain-water runoff, also known as water harvesting, has the potential to cope with the water scarcity in the semi-arid and dry, sub-humid regions of the world to sustain olive production. Among all the available micro-irrigation techniques, construction of micro catchments can help farmers to produce crops such as olive orchards with minimum water resources. Research experiments were conducted at Barani Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Pakistan situated in region where the climate is semi-arid subtropical and the annual rainfall varies from 500-1000 mm. To compare water productivity of different micro-ca.. Read More»
