Please join us for APAL’s Future Orchards® Spring Series of orchard walk on
Monday 17th November 9am start at the DPIRD conference room
Followed by Orchard Walk at Bamess Farms Churches Road Jardee
Presentations will focus on crop load metrics throughout the season and how to assign numbers to the crop at key times from pre-pruning to postharvest to inform decision-making. AgFirst Horticultural Consultant Jack Wilson will lead the discussion on this topic.
Joining us on the Southern Loop will be subject matter expert Sarah Gruntmeir from the United States. Sarah will present on thinning of apple fruit, whether mechanical fruitlet thinning (BMV Newton) can be part of a thinning strategy and how to predict fruit drop for a secondary thinner application.
