Avocado Pest & Disease Programs — Biological Inputs That Fit Your Spray Window

Pollination and fruit-set support for avocado — Pollen Boost supports flower quality and set on a crop that sets only a tiny fraction of its flowers.

Growing avocado with Vegalab

Avocado trees produce huge numbers of flowers but set only a tiny fraction, and their unusual flower behaviour and low-sugar nectar make them less attractive to honeybees. That makes pollination and fruit set the key yield lever — exactly what Vegalab's Pollen Boost is built to support.

Frequently asked questions

Why is avocado fruit set so low?

Avocado flowers open in an unusual sequence and aren't bee-favourites, so a large share of flowers never set — supporting flower quality and pollinator activity improves the set you get.

When should I apply Pollen Boost on avocado?

Through the bloom window; effect lasts up to 7–14 days with a suitable adjuvant and correct timing.
