Best practice to maximise returns and how they work together fieldday: Houhora, 7 September 2023

NZ Avocado invites you to join us to discuss how best practices combine to support outcomes of consistently high yield of quality, good size fruit with minimal inputs. Thursday, 7 September 2023 from 2.00pm – 4.00pm at Avokaha Orchard, 70 Turk Valley Rd, Awanui. 

Higher yields, optimal fruit size and quality and minimal inputs can all improve orchard return. On-orchard best practices can deliver these outcomes and this field day will cover how different best practices interact with each other to achieve this. NZ Avocado staff will be present to share information and guide discussion on the following topics.

How do the following practices support high yields of good size and quality fruit with minimal inputs:

• Pruning
• Pollination
• Fertiliser use
• Soil moisture management
• Pest and disease management

How the different best practices interact with each other to influence orchard performance.

Some key actionable bits of information from each practice you can apply to you own orchard.
