Growing robust avocados (AV21005)

Ongoing project

Delivery Partner: State of Queensland acting through the Department of Agriculture & Fisheries

What is it all about?

This project is increasing the quality of Australian avocado production by supporting the industry to grow robust produce through targeting the development of pre-harvest management strategies, focusing on soil moisture, soil nutrition, environment, and crop management.

The project will:

Improve knowledge of how pre-harvest management factors impact avocado robustness.
Enable prototype decision support tools to be made available.
Enable pre-harvest test to predict fruit robustness to be made available.
Provide evidence the project activities and outputs have impacted grower behaviour and acted as a useful resource.
