Avocado: products indicated and the dose in each data sheet

The avocado tree carries two harvests at once on the same tree: it flowers in a long, abundant flush while the fruit of the previous season is still hanging, and only a very small part of all that flower sets fruit. It shares its reserves between the ripening fruit, the flower and the spring and summer flushes, and it does so with a shallow root that tolerates waterlogging and the salts in irrigation water poorly. That is why in avocado the irrigation and the soil weigh as much as the fertilisation, and the fertilisation is planned to accompany each flush without forcing it and so that the tree reaches the next flowering with reserves, which is where the alternation between a heavy year and an empty one is decided.

On this page we bring together the products in our catalogue whose data sheet names the avocado tree in its list of crops. In the dose line, our data sheets do this in two ways: some write the avocado tree by name within the list of fruit trees, and most publish a dose for fruit trees —or for fruit trees, vegetable crops and arable crops at once—, almost always with two routes, foliar and fertigation, and often with two regimes, maintenance and severe deficiency. Some data sheet names the avocado tree but does not publish a dose for fruit trees: in that row we write nothing and refer you to the data sheet.

The table has three columns: the product, linked to its data sheet; the family it belongs to; and the doses the data sheet indicates for fruit trees. Each dose line starts with the use exactly as the data sheet writes it —the route, the regime and the crops it refers to— and ends with the quantity. The application timing is not in this table: each data sheet publishes it in its dose block, together with the precautions and the mixing incompatibilities, which are read before applying. We do not order the products by crop stage because our data sheets do not publish the dose by stage, and here we do not write what the data sheet does not say.

If the question on your farm is which of these data sheets fits the soil, the irrigation water and the state of the avocado tree, the technical enquiry exists for that: we reply with the data sheet in hand.
