“One of the critical time frames in avocado farming occurs during the spring bloom, but if you wait until then to prepare your trees, you’re too late. You can make a big difference in the outcome of next year’s crop if you anticipate and know what’s within your control, and address those needs now,” said Aldunate.

Aldunate works closely with growers in California and around the world. He serves as Index Fresh’s Consulting Agronomist, in which he regularly visits the company’s growers and groves, assists with grove management and fruit production practices, and helps Index Fresh fulfill its grower commitment.
