Online Tool Helps Growers Optimize Tree Nutrition

An online tool, called Avocado Support Tool, analyzes growers’ leaf analysis data and then delivers a detailed, customized and confidential report that ranks each nutrient element and its importance in impacting a site’s potential fruit yield.

The www.iwannagro.com online service is easy to use. Growers input their leaf data for each site and then receive a report via email that shows specific results for macronutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur) and micronutrients (Zinc, Manganese, Iron, Copper, Boron, Sodium, Chloride). The cost for statistical analysis is $50/site, up to ten sites.

The www.iwannagro.comhttp://www.iwannagro.com website includes best practices for when and how to collect leaf samples, as well as FAQs concerning what leaf analysis is and what the statistical report outlines. The Avocado Support Tool is not a Commission-sponsored endeavor; CAC is simply making growers aware of this resource.
