Addition of compost changed responses of soil-tree system in olive groves in relation to the irrigation strategy

Intensification of olive production could suppose an increase natural resources consumption as well acceleration soil degradation. Studies and trees combining different strategies water management fertilization to solve these drawbacks are scarce contradictory. The aim this work was describe the effect organic inorganic in parameters (water availability, physico-chemical properties greenhouse gas emissions) tree development (fruit crown growth pattern) rainfed irrigated conditions two systems (hedgerow intensive). solid olive-mill by-product called “Alperujo” compost (AC) added both irrigation managements (full deficit) at hedgerow sites were also considered. addition AC tended retention matter (SOM), displaying on average about 15% 20% more respectively soils treated compared their controls experiments. Irrigation rather than factor controlling evolution fruit growth. However, seemed influenced specially system that yielded 30% 41% for deficit full with respective controls. Emissions GHE did not generally showed a marked seasonal character sites. Regardless irrigation, site, regimen CO2 CH4 fluxes. agronomic use wastes combined strategy proved be efficient tool nutrient recycling, promoting zero waste circular economy conservation strategy.
