Experimental Summerfruit Orchard - Phase II

This investment supports ongoing research and development being undertaken at the summer fruit experimental orchard based in Tatura, Victoria specifically to investigate the effect of management practices including crop load, rootstock, irrigation management and canopy architecture, on fruit quality in selected cultivars of peach, nectarine, apricot and plum. The team will develop production protocols that will guide growers to produce consistent high-quality stone fruit to meet the expectations of export and domestic markets.
