avocado farming
Avocado farming involves cultivating the Persea americana tree, which produces the popular avocado fruit. These trees thrive in warm climates with well-drained soil and require plenty of sunlight. Farmers often plant them in rows to maximize space and ensure proper air circulation.
To grow avocados, farmers must manage irrigation carefully, as the trees need consistent moisture but can be sensitive to overwatering. Pest control and disease management are also crucial to maintain healthy crops. Harvesting typically occurs when the fruit reaches maturity, which can vary depending on the specific avocado variety being grown.
