Crop nutrition and attaining optimum fruit quality

November 2022 | Jorika Cronje | Future Orchards® video

This Future Orchards® resource focuses on crop nutrition and attaining optimum fruit quality. It brings the subject into a practical orchard-management context, with attention to measurable production, fruit-quality and business outcomes rather than treating the topic as an isolated technical exercise.

Jorika Cronje discusses crop nutrition, soil and root function in relation to measurable fruit-quality targets and practical orchard decision-making. The material is intended to help growers compare current block performance with clear targets and decide which management changes are justified by evidence from the orchard.

For growers, the resource is most useful as a decision-support reference: combine the technical principles with local block data, site conditions, labour constraints and market requirements, then monitor whether the chosen strategy improves consistency and profitability over time.
