Water use (WU), water use efficiency (WUE), growth, productivity of Picual and Arbequina olive cultivars were studied under two irrigation systems (flood and drip) during 2007and 2008 seasons. Results showed that, seasonal water use of olive trees grown under flood and drip irrigation was 704.04 and 446.95 mm/feddan/year, respectively (average of the two seasons). Olive trees subjected to drip irrigation produced the highest yield/tree 16.6 Kg (average of the two seasons). Yield decreased by about 23.67% when trees were exposed to flood irrigation system. Yield efficiency and water use efficiency of olive tress had the same trend. The maximum values, in this respect, were obtained by olive trees grown under drip irrigation followed in a descending order by flood irrigation, respectively. Key words: Olive trees, Irrigation system, Water use, Water use efficiency, Yield efficiency, Growth parameters, Yield and fruit quality.
