Many people believe that treatment and the use of salt water from the seas effectively, will require many years of research. However, these pessimists will be surprised to learn that existing communities which apply salt water for different purposes and they are getting amazing results with your application.

For example, farmers in the Negev desert decided not to allow the drought destroyed their crops, and were launched to find a solution to the problem of water shortage. Researching the subject, found they could use for their irrigation of olives, salt water instead of sweet. They developed such a system, which not only fail to reap good fruit, but they get a crop production with four times higher than that obtained by those working with freshwater. Also discovered that this method works well with tomatoes and vines. So that got Tilapa, some freshwater fishthemselves, become accustomed to living in salt water.

In fact this cultivation system was implemented first in the production of tomatoes. The same producers discovered that the more salt water used to water the plant, the sweeter the tomato is grown.

With this amazing fact, agreed to apply the same principle to the production of olives. And we saw excellent results. The process applied is very simple. What makes salt is set in place on the ground the process of osmotic pressure. This allows them to stimulate the production of sugar is balanced by the percentage of salt present.

Currently, plantations of these farmers is the most fruitful of Israel. Lacking any standard limiting the use of salt water, these landowners expanded their production in a striking manner, to the point that his method for cultivating and olives, are recognized internationally.

Over time, techniques were refined. For example, trees are planted so that harvest can make a mechanical (the machine shakes the tree and threw the olives to the ground). This progress in the cultivation of olives promoted the installation of new settlers in the area and helped to revive the economy of the region. Furthermore, the success of these entrepreneurs was the kickoff for other producers to begin to think about implementing the system in their fields.
