The Importance for Cropload Management
As in previous correspondence, the VCA committee encourages grower members to carefully consider this season pruning for a crop load that maximises fruit size and crop value and avoids heavy crops & small fruit.
In support of this information, please see links below to videos that may assist growers with their pruning this year:
- Professor Matt Whiting from Washington State University talks about how to manage crop load at the recent Export Workshop.
- Mike Omeg from Orchard View Cherries talks about production forecasting and cropload management at the recent Export Workshop.
