    What was it all about?

    The macadamia industry benchmarking project (MC15005) found that industry average nut in shell production varies up to five-fold across different producers. This significant variation became a driving force for industry to attempt to gather information to develop consistent production across the board.

    This project produced a series of integrated orchard management resources to support Australian macadamia growers, focussing on three key management areas: orchard floor, canopy and drainage.

    ACT NOW

    The project team produced the following resources:

    • The Macadamia integrated orchard management practice guide 2016
    • A companion booklet featuring grower case studies
    • The Integrated orchard management drainage guide 2017

    The above resources were extended to industry through field days, MacGroups and conferences to assist growers to run high-productivity orchards through integrated orchard management strategies.
