Introduction: Avocado (Persea Americana) comes in three races: Mexican, Guatemalan, and West Indian. While West Indian dominates India (tropical, high-yielding but low oil, no export demand), we promote hybrids for better results.
Why Indian Farmers Fail (And How We Fix It):
- High investment and water needs: Our rootstocks reduce usage.
- Disease susceptibility: Phytophthora causes leaf drooping, stem drying, and plant death – countered by resistant clonal rootstocks.
- Market issues: Low shelf life, no year-round supply – our varieties offer long life and regular bearing.
- Lack of quality planting material: We provide known seedlings (WI x G), clonal (Frolich, micro-clonal), and future tissue culture options.
Rootstocks & Cultivars:
- Rootstocks: Temperature-tolerant, high-vigor, saline-resistant. Exclusive to IG Deccan from global sources.
- Cultivars: Hass (limited areas), Lamb Hass, Pinkerton, Ettinger – medium-sized, ovate, small-seeded, easily peelable, fiber-free, high-oil fruits. Assessed via penetrometer for quality.
Planting Techniques:
- Soil: Red sandy or black with raised beds.
- Spacing: 3m plant-to-plant, 6m row-to-row (200/acre).
- Tree Characteristics: Upright growth, wind/cold/heat tolerant, precocious bearing.
- Fruit Traits: Uniform, blemish-free, slow oxidation, attractive color.
Global Comparisons: Israel and California succeed due to ideal rootstocks – we're bringing that expertise to India.
