Abstract
Olive oil is a key ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and offers many health benefits. However, many factors affect the quality and quantity of olive oil such as olive tree diseases and olive-related pests. Unfortunately, the procedure of identifying pests or the outbreak of a disease is time-consuming, and it depends heavily on the size of the olive grove. Through the use of ICT, remote monitoring of the olive grove can be achieved, by collecting environment-related data and having an overview of the olive grove’s overall health. In this paper we propose a low-cost dense network of sensors that collects daily data regarding the olive grove, thus, providing the possibility to prevent infestation of olive fruit fly and/or the outbreak of olive tree-related disease.
