Light management for avocado growers.

Avocado orchards carry long establishment timelines and steep water bills. Both are light problems before they are water problems.

Questions avocado growers ask.

Does shielding young avocados actually save water?

Filtered light signals the tree to build a deeper, denser root system, measured at 30% higher root density in trials. Combined with up to 50% less daily water stress, young trees drink more efficiently from the same irrigation.

How long do the shields last?

The shields are recyclable HDPE with a 10-year guarantee, so a single set typically outlasts the establishment phase of the orchard it protects.
