Agronomic Services for the Olive and Olive Oil Sector
Agronomic analysis and consultancy for the olive oil and olive sector
In the olive sector, an accurate diagnosis of the soil or substrate, irrigation water and leaves (foliar) will allow us to relate the nutrition of the plant with the corresponding dose of fertilizers, in order to optimize the fertilization process for a given crop, soil or substrate and climatic conditions.
In addition to the reliability of the data of our analyses, carried out with the highest technology and guaranteed by our international accreditation, one of our most important values is added: the agronomic interpretation of the results.
All our results are accompanied by this interpretation, in a graphic and very visual way. In addition, our agronomic department is at your disposal for more specific consultations and fertilization plans.
Agronomic analysis and agricultural consultancy for olive growing, more production, better quality and higher profitability
Analysis for the olive sector
- Irrigation water analysis
- Fertilizer solutions
- Soil analysis
- Plant tissues (foliar, sap and fruit analysis)
- Fertilizers
- Manures and compost
- Agricultural effluents and effluents
In olive growing and the olive sector it is important to know the following variables:
- Irrigation water quality
- Optimum nutrient concentration and ratios in fertilizer solutions.
- Choice of the most suitable fertilizers
- Stability and compatibility of fertilizers in concentrated solutions in irrigation heads.
- Interaction between irrigation water salts and fertilizer solutions
- Fertilization according to crop and substrate
- Frequency and intensity of irrigations and flushes
- Nutrition diagnosis
- Fertilizer-substrate solution interaction
Water and nutritional audits
Starting from the basis of nutritional monitoring, we have focused on some specific cases in order to implement a control tool that allows us to audit different processes:
- To know the response of certain molecules in the soil-plant-water system: chelating agents, activating or retarding molecules of chemical processes (nitrification and others), slow release fertilizers and oxidizing agents.
- Studies on fertilization optimization, use of wastewater, use of effluents, characterization of soils, water and homogenization of fertilizers, among others.
- Response to fertilizers in organic crops and search for organic alternatives to them.
Monitoring and Nutritional Control of Olive Crops
With our patented system for Nutritional Monitoring of agricultural crops, we continuously evaluate what the plant needs at any given moment. In a practical and dynamic way, throughout the campaign we monitor the water and nutrient needs of the crop, with the objective of adjusting irrigation and fertilizers to this demand.
On the other hand, with this control we are carrying out a sustainable agricultural practice since there are no leachates that contaminate aquifers or affect the soil structure.
Por otro lado, con este control estamos realizando una práctica agrícola sostenible ya que no hay lixiviados que contaminen acuíferos o afecten a la estructura del suelo.
