Abstract(s)
Olive orchards are often cultivated under rainfed conditions, although the irrigated areas are
currently increasing. In Trás-os-Montes region, only 5% of the total area harvested is irrigated,
and this picture will not change in the near future, due to natural limitation on water resources.
Therefore, despite the importance of some high-density and super-high-density orchards that
have been planted in the South of Portugal, it is still crucial for the olive sector, and in particular
for many inland regions, that the rainfed orchards are managed in a profitable and
environmentally sustainable way.
