The field walk at Select Harvest’s Carina orchard (4830A Hattah – Robinvale Road Bannerton, Victoria) will showcase a successful high-density demonstration plot, offering participants a practical example of effective scion-rootstock combinations.
Participants can learn how different genotypes perform under similar conditions, providing insights into their suitability for high-density systems.
In addition, this will be an opportunity to network with the researchers who will share data and information collected from the trial, providing insights into tree water usage, the link between irrigation and canopy light interception, and tree performance.
Overall, the walk will offer a valuable opportunity to understand the complexities of high-density almond production and its potential implications for the Australian almond industry.
