Optimizing Water Footprint, Productivity, and Sustainability in Southern Italian Olive Groves: The Role of Organic Fertilizers and Irrigation Management by Pasquale Garofalo, Liliana Gaeta, Carolina Vitti, Luisa Giglio, Rita Leogrande

“…Deficit irrigation strategies, such as ceasing irrigation during the pit-hardening stage (Red_Farm; 1160 m³ ha⁻¹), reduced water use by 67% compared to Full (3600 m³ ha⁻¹) while maintaining satisfactory yields (3070 kg ha⁻¹ vs. 2035 kg ha⁻¹ on average across all fertilization treatments). Water footprint (WFP) analysis revealed that BCH consistently achieved the lowest WFP values (e.g., 1220 m³ t⁻¹ under Full and 687 m³ t⁻¹ under rainfed conditions), outperforming CTR (1605 m³ t⁻¹), CMP (1645 m³ t⁻¹), and DB (1846 m³ t⁻¹) under full irrigation and 810 m³ t⁻¹, 1219 m³ t⁻¹, and 1147 m³ t⁻¹ with no irrigation water supply. …”
