Potassium Nitrate / Uniconazole sprays increase Avocado yield

Although avocado trees tend to vegetative growth, excessive vigor often results in lower fruit production.

March 3, 2018

Avocado fruits develop in inflorescences from which new shoots emerge immediately after full bloom.

If the new shoot is vigorous, its competitive effect leads to fruit drop, which in turn reduces yield.

New shoots also deprive the fruit of nutrients such as Ca and B, which has a negative impact on fruit quality after harvest.
