Overview

This observational analysis reveals physiological and fruit quality variations in olive cultivars under water deficit, suggesting implications for irrigation strategies.

Key Points

  • Under water deficit, Arbequina maintained high photosynthesis but showed increased vulnerability to xylem embolism.
  • Leccio del Corno demonstrated greater water use efficiency and lower hydraulic vulnerability compared to others.
  • Maurino exhibited more conservative water use but declined in fruit quality under water deficit conditions.
  • These findings underscore genetic variability in drought tolerance among olive cultivars, influencing irrigation practices.
