Abstract
Worldwide olive production recently has undergone major changes in terms of harvesting technologies and planting densities. A
new educational, research and exhibition olive grove was established at Perrotis College, Greece in 2010 to evaluate new
production systems under a variety of planting densities and major input treatments for two of the most commonly used olive
varieties globally, under high density palnting systems adapted for mechanical harvesting. Precision agriculture practices were
used in this olive grove, to identify possible “zones of variation” for yield, crop reflectance using the handheld GreenSeeker
