New Zealand Avocado

Field day: Mid North, 12 June 2024
2024-06-12 10:00 - 12:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | 427 Mangakahia Road, Whangarei
NZ Avocado invites you to join us on Deon Cartwright’s orchard to discuss how we can prune trees and shelter to maximise packouts and improve orchard efficiency. We’ll also revisit the ground cover planting discussed at the previous field day in September 2023 to see if it helped with weed control and any other pros and cons in the first summer. Wednesday, 12 June 2024 from 10.00am – 12.00pm at 427 Mangakahia Road, Whangarei.
When we last visited the orchard, Deon had recently started a trial where different ground cover species were planted to help suppress weeds, reduce mowing and provide additional benefits. Learnings from the first Summer will be shared.
Export packout is a key influence on orchard returns. Shelter and canopy management have a major influence on packout and will be discussed at the field day.
We hope to have a collective discussion on how growers are changing or modifying their orchard management to reduce costs and improve efficiencies on orchard.

Field day: Far North, 11 June 2024
2024-06-11 13:00 - 15:00 | 129 Burnage Road, Pukenui
NZ Avocado invites you to join us on Mervyn Evan’s orchard to discuss shelter as it relates to packout, recent drainage improvements and general orchard management to maximise efficiency and orchard returns. Tuesday, 11 June 2024 from 1.00pm – 3.00pm at 129 Burnage Road, Pukenui.
Export packout has a key influence on orchard returns. Shelter and canopy management have a major influence on packout and the Burnage Road Orchard has both artificial and pine shelters for comparison and discussion.
Burnage Road Orchard is a young orchard with Mervyn implementing different thinking between two distinct phases of the orchard development. Hear his experiences and join the discussion on how we can improve efficiency on orchard to improve grower returns. John Emmett and Michael French will also be present to share their thoughts on the orchards development.
Tree health is the current focus on the property with additional groundwork having recently been carried out to reduce ponding.
