Completed project
Avocado best management practices and internet-based information delivery (AV10002)
Publication date: January 5, 2015
Delivery Partner: The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
Australian avocado producers need to improve their yields and fruit quality and lower their costs of production in order to expand the market in Australia and compete with expected avocado imports from countries such as Chile, Mexico and Peru.
The information and technology required to achieve higher yields and better fruit quality is available in Australia and has been successfully adopted by the most progressive growers. The objective of this project, which ran between 2010 and 201, was to update and package the information so that it was easily accessed and understood by the majority of Australian avocado growers.
The resources developed during this project are outlined below.
o Tree injection for Phytophthora root rot
o Installing tensiometers to measure water availability for trees
o Checking the uniformity of irrigation systems.
This comprehensive suite of information products is all available through Avocados Australia and the industry’s Best Practice Resource.
