- Intervention effect July kaolin gave the highest yield under irrigation.
- Intervention effect July talc gave the highest yield under irrigation.
- Intervention effect August attapulgite gave the greatest rainfed yield.
- Intervention effect August talc ranked after attapulgite for rainfed yield.
- Intervention effect Nearly all clay treatments increased oil production in rainfed trees over controls.

- Intervention effect July talc under rainfed conditions produced oil with high phenolic content.
- Intervention effect Oils from talc and August attapulgite treatments had the highest hydroxytyrosol and oleacein concentrations.
- Intervention effect Most clay treatments elevated oleic acid in rainfed oil.
- Intervention effect Most clay treatments reduced linoleic acid in rainfed oil.
- Intervention effect Rainfed clay treatments yielded a high monounsaturated-to-polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio.
- Intervention effect August applications in irrigated groves produced oils differing from controls.
- Intervention effect Rainfed application timing did not limit oil differences from controls.
