TL;DR: Proline supplements seem to improve olive salt tolerance by amelioration of some antioxidative enzyme activities, photosynthetic activity, and, so, plant growth and the preservation of a suitable plant water status under salinity conditions.

TL;DR: Generally, it seems that proline supplementation alleviated the deleterious effects of young olive plants exposed to Cd stress and showed an increase of antioxidant enzymes activities, photosynthetic activity, nutritional status, plant growth and oil content of olive fruit.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of irrigation with treated wastewater (TWW) on soil chemical properties, olive tree yield and on virgin olive oil (VOO) quality during an heavy crop year (on year) in “Chemlali” olive orchard.

TL;DR: In this paper, the need for supplementary irrigation of the Chemlali olive cultivar ( Olea europaea L.) during summer and autumn periods was investigated, and it was shown that water deficiency during the summer led to the decrease of soil moisture, leaf water content and gas exchange parameters.

TL;DR: The results showed that soil salinity and soil moisture variations are not only dependent on water salinity level but are also controlled by a multitude of factors particularly the soil texture, the distance from the irrigation source and climatic conditions (rainfall pattern, temperature average, …).
