EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Benefits, practical recommendations and sustainability of the avocado crop.
What problem does the tool address?:To meet the growing European demand for avocados, this product is imported from South America, which has a high carbon footprint. At the same time, many European farmers are turning to this crop as a substitute for others due to its better economic profitability and the new climatic conditions. Because avocado is a new crop in Europe, many farmers are not familiar with the most appropriate agronomic techniques adapted to the specific conditions.
What solution does the tool offer?:It is necessary to identify whether the conditions are suitable before opting for this crop. To this end, a regional agroclimatic map has been drawn up. The best available techniques to increase productivity, achieve more efficient water management and more effective biological control have also been studied.
