Summary. Olive farming in Mediterranean regions faces growing threats from climate change and emerging pests, making traditional crop protection methods unsustainable. This review examines precision agriculture innovations—particularly endo-therapy (trunk injection of treatments) and controlled-release biological formulations—that enable farmers to deliver crop protection more efficiently and sustainably. These technologies reduce chemical drift, target vascular diseases inaccessible to foliar sprays, and help olive growers adapt to future agricultural challenges.
