Achieving full yield potential of avocado plantations is of great challenge.
Among the causes of poor crop yield, inadequate nutrient management is
majorly considered apart from climate, cultivar, etc. The objective of the
manuscript was to analyze the nutrient requirement of avocado under different
growth stages and appropriate nutrient management practices for
avocado. The nutrient requirement of the avocado may vary according to
its seasonal growth pattern, soil conditions, cultivar type, and yield potential,
etc. Therefore, synchronizing fertilizer nutrient supply on the basis of
crop demand can improve fruit yield and quality, and enhance nutrient
uptake, thereby reduction of nutrient losses could sustain the production
system from the environmental degradation. The nutrient requirement of
an avocado cultivar at different growth stages can be formulated based on
periodic soil analysis, monitoring leaf nutrient concentration at different
growth stages, and total nutrient removal by harvested fruits, and yield
potential. Standardization of the best nutrient management practices will
be useful in improving yield and quality of avocado and farm income.
