Crossing the threshold: adaptation tipping points for Australian fruit trees
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-24, 12:42 authored by Measham, PF, Darbyshire, R‘Crossing the threshold: Adaptation tipping points for Australian fruit trees’ is a three year project which commenced in 2013 looking at cherry, apple and pear crops. It aims to align tree responses to climate information, assess how climate affects dormancy, bloom timing, yield potential and fruit damage. This will inform industry of when climate may consistently disrupt tree function into the future. Adaptation strategies, such as dormancy breaking, netting and rootstocks will also be evaluated. This is relevant information when making decisions about suitability of varieties, optimising production into the future, and to better inform industry when practice change is required.
