Ongoing project
Growing robust avocados (AV21005)
Key research provider: State of Queensland acting through the Department of Agriculture & Fisheries
What's 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.
