The results for this orchard were outstanding.
This block has never in the history of the orchard gained a Y band yet the Biomin Calcium treated area did gain a Y Band whilst all other control areas remained as M band fruit. Levels on the Biomin Calcium treatment block recorded the highest Dry Matter. The Zespri Taste grade was the highest along with yield per Ha. Fruit size remained reasonable at 34.33 being the second highest size bracket from the orchard whilst carrying significantly higher yield in a year where fruit size has been smaller across the industry as a whole.
