4. Conclusions and Recommendations
The knowledge database established last and early this year, will be coupled with the first significant yield data of
this year (expected December 2013) in order to identify areas for crop improvement. The results on important soil
and crop characteristics measured, indicated that there was a variability which needs to be validated with yield
characteristics. Precision agriculture methodologies appear to be very useful in optimization of production
management and will benefit the overall evaluation of these new olive production systems under high density
plantings.
