AuStar® is most widely used on Mango, Stonefruit and Avocado
AuStar® plays the same fundamental role in all plants by inhibiting gibberellin synthesis. The primary effect of AuStar® is to reduce canopy growth and direct nutrients and the carbohydrates synthesised in the leaves into fruit and seed production, rather than into non-productive leaves and stems. The use of Austar on Avovados is practiced by 3 of the top 5 biggest Avocado farms in the world and the results speak for themselves. Additionally, scientific evidence widely documents the following respones very reliably.
Empirical evidence proves AuStar assists with:
- Managing and controlling the canopy;
- Better fruit retention;
- Increased yields by a minimum of 25% up to 82%
- Fuller shaped Avocado;
- Improves skin texture;
- Reduction in bi-ennial cropping;
- Enhances calcium concentration in fruit.
