Resumen
Traditional olive oil production is
limited by its high cost, mainly due
to labor expenses for harvesting and
pruning. A new olive planting system
based on hedgerows and harvesting
machines could decrease production
costs while maintaining high quality.
To improve the effi ciency of the
continuousstraddle mechanical
harvesters, vigor must be managed
to limit tree size. However, few
cultivars are adapted to this system.
Selections from three cultivars are
typically used in these superhighdensity orchards. We fi eldtested
‘Arbequina i18’, ‘Arbosana i43’
and ‘Koroneiki i38’ in an irrigated,
superhighdensity planting system
in Catalonia (northeast Spain).
We present a review of 6 years of
horticultural data and summarize
sensory characteristics and other
properties of the resulting olive oils.
