Engineer horticulturists consulted by ANZM recommend the following works for orchard owners:
-
Monitoring, preventing, and protecting plantations against rodent attacks in the orchard.
-
If weather permits, pruning for fruiting can be carried out for seedling species.
-
In bearing plantations, maintenance pruning of trees can be performed to achieve a balance between fruiting and growth processes, removing suckers and shoots from the base.
-
Timely supply of effective and authorized pesticides.
-
Performing winter treatments with specific substances (Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur solution, mineral oils).
