THE OLIVE TREE IN SUMMER
It is in summer when fruits are developed and when most needed is water. This is the reason why that have been implemented irrigation systems; is well known the lack of precipitation we have in Spain during summer. In Ibros, the irrigation system used is drip through, which the water for this purpose is carried by ducts to a specific point of the olive tree, which makes it consume much less water than other systems and also not to waste a drop. In this time, although olives are still green, begin to show small red patches those that be in the parts of the tree that enjoy more hours of sunshine. During this season, farmers should be aware of the proper irrigation of the olive, without diseases and pests, and they must also guard drip points that are not obstructed or torn.
