Field day: Whangarei, 19 February 2026

NZ Avocado invites you to join us for a field day in Whangarei. Venue to be confirmed. Updates will be provided on Mirid insect, fruit quality and productivity research with an emphasis on management to maximise financial returns. Thursday, 19 February 2026.

Other topics discussed on the orchard will include:

• Current understanding of mirid impacts. What we know and don’t know.
• Soil moisture management – practical tips to optimise fruit size and nutrient utilization.
• Fruit quality – Best practice and updates on the research underway to maintain fruit quality into markets.
• The importance of maintaining pruning. What, when and how much.

We hope to have a collective discussion about how growers are managing their orchards this spring to get the most out of the season ahead.
