UC Ag Experts Talk: Gibberellic Acid Use on Avocado to Improve Fruit Set

Dr. Ben Faber talks about plant growth regulators (PGRs), a powerful tool available for increasing fruit size and yield in existing avocado orchards. Gibberellic acid (GA3) was registered for use on California avocados in March 2018 to improve fruit productivity. The handling, timing and application rate are critical and the reasons are explained in this presentation.

This webinar was recorded on March 18, 2020. Speaker: Dr. Ben Faber, UCCE crop advisor for Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
