METHODS OF INCREASING AVOCADO FRUIT PRODUCTION

Low yields in avocado are often associated with vigorous vegetative growth. Orchard management practices reducing vigorous growth of avocado can increase production. The influence of rootstocks and cultivars, root rot control, fertilisation, irrigation, physical and chemical tree growth manipulation and other factors influencing avocado fruit production, are discussed.
