Narrow orchard systems for future climates

Could a transition to narrower orchard systems be beneficial to the apple and pear industry? Ian Goodwin, Research Leader Crop Physiology at Agriculture Victoria, provides an overview of a new five-year program, Narrow orchard systems for future climates (AS22002), which presents an opportunity to find more efficient ways to manage orchards that are more profitable, more consistent, more resilient and safer. The program is being delivered through Hort Innovation and led by Agriculture Victoria.
