Summer management reminders

November 2014 | Craig Hornblow, AgFirst | Future Orchards® notes

These summer-management reminders consolidate the key orchard tasks that require attention once the season is underway. The notes are designed as a practical prompt for growers to review crop load, canopy condition, irrigation, nutrition and fruit development before small issues become yield or quality losses.

The resource fits the Future Orchards® whole-season management approach: maintain tree balance, keep fruit exposed to adequate light, monitor growth and fruit size, and make timely decisions that support both the current crop and return bloom.
