Research-driven thinning gives apple growers the edge
Tasmanian apple growers are partnering with University of Tasmania researchers to test new, data-driven thinning strategies directly in their orchards. By experimenting with different thinning timings and approaches on their own trees, growers gain clearer insights into how these decisions affect fruit size, yield, and profitability. Researchers support the process with measurement and analysis, helping growers interpret results and refine their practices. Lern more here.
