Crop: Avocado
Study Type: Foliar, Replicated Grower Demo
Aqua-Yield® Product: NanoPro®
Additional Product: Uniconazole-p
Summary:
AgroFuturo (Rapel, Chile) conducted a replicated grower demo to measure the benefit of adding NanoPro to improve plant uptake of Uniconazole-p (PGR) on avocado crops. Early results indicate adding NanoPro provides increased fruit set, retention, and shoot reduction through increased plant absorption. Full trial results will be available in fall 2023.
Fruit Set:
At the first fruit set evaluation (12/9/22), trees with Uniconazole-p + NanoPro had 66% more fruit than those without NanoPro. On the second evaluation (1/13/2023) following fruit drop, trees Uniconazole-p + NanoPro had 82% more fruit.
Fruit Retention:
Trees sprayed with Uniconazole-p + NanoPro retained 2% more fruit in addition to increased fruit set.
Shoot Reduction:
Trees treated with Uniconazole-p + NanoPro at a full rate of 2L/ha had 75% more shoot reduction. Trees with 25% reduced rate of Uniconazole-p + Nanopro did not improve shoot reduction.
