Avo Alerts Refreshed – Improved Grower Access to Information

Avo Alerts have recently been refreshed with a new format, which you may have noticed in last month’s update. The updated design is focused on making information easier to navigate and more practical to use when it’s needed.

While the core content remains the same, the refreshed format presents it in a clearer, more structured way.

• Key orchard activities are now easier to interpret at a glance, with improved layout and visual flow helping growers quickly identify priorities for the month and how they align with the production cycle.
• Access to supporting information has also been improved. Resource links to videos, factsheets and further reading are now grouped and more prominently displayed, making it quicker to find relevant materials when needed.
• Regional event information is also easier to locate, along with post-event resources such as forum summaries, bringing key updates together in one place.

Overall, the refreshed Avo Alerts are designed to improve usability and support faster, more confident decision-making in the orchard.

If you have any feedback or questions regarding Avo Alerts, please contact Bridie Carr bridie.carr@dpi.qld.gov.au or your regional lead.

Avo Alerts are developed for each major production region to help Australian avocado growers keep track of key orchard activities throughout the year. Produced by the AV23010 extension project team, the alerts are sent to growers each month and highlight what to keep an eye on in the current month and the one ahead.

To access the Avo Alerts for your region, please log on to the Best Practice Resource and visit the Australian Agronomy section of the BPR Library where you will find the most recent Avo Alerts stored.
