Some of the biggest mistakes I see in avocado irrigation are some of the simplest to change.

One key issue I see on my day to day travels- is ground-truthing of soil capacitance probes.

There is so much info on these graphs that we just aren’t maximising, so I decided to do a webinar on just that!

Join my “Free” webinar so we can learn how: -To find the “sweet spot”
-Identify soil issues
-troubleshoot irrigation problems
All in just 45 mins.

This will be great training for any avocado grower who wants to brush up on their skills and/or any employees who are in charge of irrigation for avos.

Date: 21st Nov
Time: 1pm AEST

So this is why farmers that grow avocados have high stress levels-

I tried to capture the small Unpollinated fruits that fell off 2 smaller trees that I’m monitoring - less than 1m tall!

Pollination time is a nervous time in the Avocado orchard. Little can be done once the flowers start opening. Have a listen to see how we assess pollination and observe some elements to watch out for.

Pollination time can be a nervous wait in the avocado orchards! Little can be done once flowering begins to impact these little fruit.

You are at the mercy of the sun, temperature, humidity, rain and most of all- the insects!

Check out how we assess pollination and what to look for.

These sneaky pests can cause huge damage to avocados. Banana spotting bug.
🥑
One insect alone can create a lot of damage!
😱
They spit on the fruit! (they have enzymes in their saliva that breaks down the fruit defences so they can access the delicious tasting sap.)
😋
These fruit are currently the size of a pea and may fall off at this growth stage.
💦
Effective control requires monitoring, so you can select the right product to control them.
🌸
We try to use products that don’t hurt beneficial insects, these are very expensive - so it’s important to get the timing right to get the best bang for your buck!
