Planning key to maximising block performance

January 2023 | Presented by Nic Finger and Jonathan Brookes | Future Orchards® video

Planning is central to lifting the performance of individual orchard blocks. In this Future Orchards® video, Nic Finger and Jonathan Brookes discuss how growers can use block-level information, clear targets and regular review points to improve production outcomes rather than relying on whole-orchard averages.

The presentation reinforces the value of identifying the main constraint in a block, setting realistic production and quality goals, and tracking progress through the season. This approach helps growers focus management effort where it will have the greatest impact and supports decisions on crop load, canopy development, inputs, harvest and redevelopment.
