“…Olive growers cannot ignore the effects of macro and micronutrients on plant's health. They must give due importance to balanced use of nutrients (Zaragoza et al, 2020). Nutrients, which are essential for growth, are required at different physiological stages.…”

“…In case of fruit trees, actually a nutrient applied to promote plant growth and yield as well as its economic response is expected. It is a perception among the farmers that application of more fertilizer increase yield in the same rate while excess dose ultimately leads to environmental hazards and having adverse effect for both the tree and crop (Zaragoza et al, 2020). The objective of the current review was to discuss the nutritional requirement of olive for the sustainable management of olive orchards in pothwar region of Pakistan.…”

“…Alternate bearing is mostly common in olive plant, which influence N dynamic. New leaves store N during the off-season that mobilized in the leaves during on season that support the new growth Zaragoza et al, 2020). Olive fruit considered as one of the major N sink, which is dependent on the adjacent leaf, and are helpful for olive fertilization.…”

Europe, Africa has 19.7%contribution and Asia is 13.4% olive production share (Erel et al., 2017). Turkey, Italy, Spain, and Greece are the considered as main oil producing countries (Haberman et al., 2019). Olive can play its essential role in our country's economy. Pakistan's aggregate household edible oil use is around 2.9 million tons. Approximately, 67% of this consumption met by imports. Annually 38 billion rupees were for this purpose. Thus, giving careful consideration to increase the olive cultivation in Pakistan can help saving foreign reserve. In Abstract | Olive (Olea europaea L.) fertilization considered as one of the important factor for production of olive fruit and oil. Keeping in view the modern fruit production physiology, nutrients serve as stimulants for cell development and fruit production. In Pakistan, Olive cultivation and production started from a previous one decade. Farmers have a lack of trend for fertilizer application to Olive orchards in a proper dose. Olive intensification for new orchard enhanced fertilizer use especially Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) and in micronutrients especially Boron (B) to control alternate bearing of olive. In Pakistan, olive plantation is an initiative to minimize the Olive import, and to maximize olive plantation in Pothwar area as well as control climate change. There is no trend for fertilizer application among the Pakistani farmers. The increasing demand of olive oil and value added products like pickles jams and squash enforcing the farmer to produce more and more. The increasing demand creates the competition among the farmers. To produce more it is important to apply fertilizer at a right time, right source and right method. In case of soil application, apply first dose of nitrogen, all phosphorus and all potassium fertilizers during the December. Apply second dose during May-June and third dose during September in Pothwar. Foliar application is suitable during end February and March. Drip irrigation is suitable during December and May.

“…However, none of the above works integrates soil-water-plant-atmosphere models. [10] propose a mobile application that incorporates an agricultural model [11] for fertilization and irrigation scheduling, but this model does not use sensor data and is based on the single crop coefficient (K c ) approach instead of the dual K c for separate estimation of crop transpiration (T c ) and soil evaporation (E s ) (i.e., K c = K cb + K e ), introduced in FAO56 [12] which improves the accuracy of potential crop evapotranspiration (ET c ) estimation.…”

Nowadays, smart irrigation is becoming an essential goal in agriculture, where water and energy are increasingly limited resources. Its importance will grow in the coming years in the agricultural sector where the optimal use of resources and environmental sustainability are becoming more important every day. However, implementing smart irrigation is not an easy task for most farmers since it is based on knowledge of the different processes and factors that determine the crop water requirements. Thanks to technological developments, it is possible to design new tools such as sensors or platforms that can be connected to soil-water-plant-atmosphere models to assist in the optimization and automation of irrigation. In this work, a low-cost, open-source IoT system for smart irrigation has been developed that can be easily integrated with other platforms and supports a large number of sensors. The platform uses the FIWARE framework together with customized components and can be deployed using edge computing and/or cloud computing systems. To improve decision-making, the platform integrates an irrigation model that calculates soil water balance and wet bulb dimensions to determine the best irrigation strategy for drip irrigation systems. In addition, an energy efficient open-source datalogger has been designed. The datalogger supports a wide range of communications and is compatible with analog sensors, SDI-12 and RS-485 protocols. The IoT system has been deployed on an olive farm and has been in operation for one irrigation season. Based on the results obtained, advantages of using these technologies over traditional methods are discussed.
