AVOCADO SAMPLE ESTABLISHMENT AND PRODUCTION COSTS AND PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS FOR VENTURA, SANTA BARBARA, AND SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES ORGANIC PRODUCTION PRACTICES
In this study, we provide up to date costs of establishment and production and profitability; benchmark indicators for evaluating the viability and sustainability of organic avocado production. This study is based on assumptions of organic avocado orchard establishment and production practices that are considered typical in Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties and is based on 10 acres orchard. Data regarding production practices, inputs and prices was collected from growers, the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) farm advisor, agricultural institutions, and supply and equipment dealers.

Improvement of Yield Per Acre by Close Spacing, Pruning of Close-Spacing 'Hass' and 'Lamb Hass' Trees, Combined with New Grower Education Classes Final Report
In 2011, it became clear to Dr. Gary S. Bender that California avocado growers in the county were facing increasing pressure due to rising water prices, periodic drought and California’s dwindling share of water from the California River. For the average California avocado grower in San Diego County producing 5,000 lbs/ac and applying 4 ac ft/year, the set up was fiscally unsustainable unless a substantial increase in yield per acre occurred.
Studies on the efficacy of a new formulation of Uniconazole-P
Uniconazole-P is used in ‘Hass’ avocado production to stop vegetative shoot growth at the apex of indeterminate floral shoots to increase fruit set and yield and after pruning to maintain tree size, especially in high-density plantings. Uniconazole-P has the potential to reduce pruning costs, but also to reduce fruit size and increase fruit drop. Depending on crop load, reducing vegetative shoot growth in spring or summer could mitigate or initiate alternate bearing.
