Product Information

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI), which applied the same seasonal water as CDI, with a midsummer (July 1st to September 10th–15th) deficit period without irrigation. A dry martini! Ha, ok so you’re having a party and including these stuffed olives on the menu? Here are a few other party appetizers that would pair nicely with these blue cheese olives.

Values of GC, LAD, and R zx required to initialize the model were taken from dedicated measurements. A record of Y dry of the year preceding simulations was also considered. Initial L v values were taken from records measured by Moriana (2001). Statistical AnalysisP.S. Another olive favorite are these Olive Puffs (I think they’re delicious year-round, but especially at Halloween). Further research regarding genetic variability in model parameters is also desirable. With the exception of those related to the simulation of flowering date ( De Melo-Abreu et al., 2004) and frost damage ( Barranco et al., 2005), all parameters have been taken from past experiments carried out either with only one cultivar each (‘Arbequina’ being the most frequent) or averaging the results obtained for a few of them. Although the scarce literature does not allow us to disentangle how many of these crop parameters are cultivar-specific, it is clear that exploring their genetic variability might be important for enhancing model reliability. Moreover, the quantification of such cultivar variability may be used for evaluating its impact on tree physiology and productivity under different management, weather or orchard characteristics using OliveCan, which may be useful for breeding purposes. Finally, future improvements of OliveCan might include additional sub-models for simulating nutrient uptake and the impact of pests and diseases. Apart from that, the model shows potential for being adapted to other tree species, so its interest may not be only restricted to olive researchers. Conclusion The model presented here targets the simulation of the interactions between olive trees and their environment through a detailed characterization of the water and carbon balances of the orchard as affected by weather variables, soil attributes and management operations. The generally high level of agreement found between measured and simulated data evidence the suitability of OliveCan for estimating olive orchard dynamics. These results encourage the application of the model to simulate the growth, carbon exchange and water relations of olive orchards in a wide range of research contexts, including studies on the performance of olive trees under climate change scenarios. The development of OliveCan has also highlighted significant knowledge gaps in relation to some physiological processes and the cultivar specificity of some of the parameters. Further research on these aspects may contribute to improve the reliability of the model.

RESP M is calculated as a function of temperature and biomass, and it is subtracted directly from the pool of assimilates. Whenever maintenance respiration exceeds the pool of assimilates, the deficit is discounted from the reserve pool. The remaining assimilates are distributed among the different organs with partitioning rules being mediated by phenology. The loss of carbon during the synthesis of new biomass was included by calculating a production value ( PV) ( Penning de Vries et al., 1974) for each type of organ according to its biochemical composition. Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI), which applied 75% of the water received by CON (i.e., rainfall plus irrigation) with a midsummer deficit period (15 July to 15 September) without irrigation.

These stuffed olives are one of my favorite blue cheese recipes. They’re simple to make, you can prep them in advance of your party and pull them out of the fridge when your guests arrive, and the blue cheese and green olive combination is salty perfection! Stuffed Olives During the development of the model, it became apparent that our current understanding of some of the physiological processes to be simulated was limited. For example, timing of vegetative bud break, dynamics of leaf senescence, fruit photosynthesis and the use of reserves are among the phenomena that have received less attention in the literature. Also, OliveCan is missing a sub-model aimed to properly simulate the dynamics of oil accumulation during the fruit growth period. Further research on these and other topics (e.g., alternate bearing) are clearly needed and might result in model improvements through either a more consistent parametrization or the formulation of better equations for simulating such processes. Finally, the soil carbon balance and heterotrophic respiration ( RESP H) are computed with an adaptation of the model proposed by Huang et al. (2009) and modified to take into account the effect of soil moisture on the rate of decomposition according to Verstraeten et al. (2006). Then, by considering the different computed fluxes of assimilation and respiration within the orchard, OliveCan provides estimates of the ecosystem respiration ( RESP eco) and net ecosystem exchange ( NEE).
