Interseasonal irregular bearing

This research aims to develop a practical method for the avocado industry to mitigate summer fruit abscission and reduce irregular bearing, a significant challenge limiting market development. The project seeks to identify suitable application timings and working levels of these regulators while clarifying their effectiveness in reducing irregular bearing, considering their impact on other hormone pathways. This project aims to translate these findings into practical applications for the avocado industry, addressing a critical industry need.
