Workshop and roadmap for the way forward for Irregular Bearing

This project aims to address the significant challenge of irregular and alternate bearing in the Australian avocado industry. By investigating regional variations and consulting with growers, the project seeks to identify causes and effective management strategies. Through a comprehensive review of scientific literature, surveys of growers, and a collaborative workshop, experts will share knowledge and develop practical solutions. The ultimate outcome will be a roadmap providing actionable recommendations for avocado growers, integrating scientific research and industry expertise. This roadmap will serve as a guide for future investments in managing irregular and alternate bearing, facilitating more sustainable and productive avocado production practices across different regions of Australia.
