Agriculture | n. phr.
a kind of olive grove that does not incorporate any irrigation system, which reduces the density and yield of the plantation.

Example

In non-irrigated olive groves, or where irrigation systems are not installed, the application of granular or even soluble fertilizers is in many cases not very efficient.

Additional information

traditional olive groves were non-irrigated, had an acceptable yield and were resistant to drought. However, the substantial rise in yield caused by irrigated olive groves has made modern oliviculture incorporate a number of irrigation systems whenever the features of the land allow doing so.
