As kiwifruit growers plan orchard inputs for the coming season, many are looking more closely at how soil health supports long-term productivity.
At MyNoke we’ve been working alongside Baygold to explore how vermicast can play a role in supporting soil biology within kiwifruit orchards.
Baygold manages and develops kiwifruit orchards across the Bay of Plenty and has been open to trialling new approaches that support soil health and orchard resilience.
Together we’ve been applying vermicast in selected areas and observing how it integrates into existing orchard management practices.
In the video below, the Baygold team share:
We’re hugely grateful to Baygold for their partnership and their willingness to share their experience with the wider kiwifruit industry.
Real orchard insights like this are invaluable for growers considering how biological soil inputs might complement their existing programmes.
As growers are locking in budgets and inputs for the coming season, it’s encouraging to see orchard teams exploring new ways to support soil health and long-term productivity.
If you’re interested in learning more about how vermicast can be used in kiwifruit orchards get in touch, we’d love to talk.
