AgroFuturo conducted a replicated grower demo to measure the benefit of adding NanoPro to improve plant uptake of Uniconazole-p (PGR) on avocado crops.
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.
Yield: Yield was increased with the addition of NanoPro by 1.29 tons/ha (11%). Fruit size and quality was similar between treatments.
