Abstract

Building on the earlier AI13004 project, AS18000 aimed to deepen understanding of orchard physiology, tree architecture, crop load, light environment, canopy microclimate, and vigour management. Recognising the long
maturation times of tree crops, the program adopted a long-term Research, Development, and Extension strategy,
combining foundational science with practical orchard considerations. Industry stakeholders participated through
Crop Reference Groups (CRGs) to ensure relevance and effective communication. Outcomes of this research effort
varied: mango showed the highest adaptability to intensification, macadamia made moderate advances, while
avocado faced challenges due to rapid vegetative growth and limited genetic tools for vigour control.
