FREEWe have an upcoming webinar on fertiliser considerations taking place on Wednesday 14 June.
Growers may have recently received fertiliser recommendations following soil and leaf testing in autumn. With financial and environmental sustainability a keen focus at the moment, what are some of the key considerations to critically assess current fertiliser use? John and Margaret have dairy, kiwifruit and avocado operations on their property and will share information about their orchard operation. NZ Avocado staff will be present to share information and guide discussion on the following topics.
- Role of key nutrients
- Nitrogen, calcium, boron
- How much is enough/too much?
- Removal from orchard system
- Tree optimums
- Regional considerations
- Fertiliser plans and application methods
- Role of soil biology
- Replacement and timings
- Hard fertilizer, fertigation and foliar application
- Regulatory situation and outlook
- Fresh water farm environment plans. What are they and who’s affected?
