The Macadamia Industry benchmarking project (MC15005) has indicated that industry average nut in shell (NIS) production at 10% moisture is around 2.8T/ha, however this figure fluctuates dramatically between farms and within regions. The top 25% of growers in the benchmarking report produce around 4.5T / ha NIS 10% while the bottom 25% produce a mere 1.2T/ha. In 2014 d a study tour to visit farms that consistently fell within the top 25% of the industry was commissioned. From this study tour “Integrated Orchard management practice guide 2016 “ and “Integrated Orchard management case study 2016” booklets were produced.

2016 | Bright J, Alt S | Manual/guide
This booklet is a companion to the Macadamia Integrated Orchard Management (IOM) Practice Guide 2016. IOM is a framework for maintaining high productivity orchards, and the recovery of orchards in decline. The IOM practice guide describes the ways macadamia growers can manage canopy, orchard floor and drainage. Growers use the IOM framework to assess their orchards, and choose practices appropriate for the orchard’s stage of development. We might call that the theory. This booklet is the practice. It’s about what growers decided was limiting their orchard performance, and what they did about it. Each story tells how growers have used the theory from the IOM practice guide to identify problems on their farms, and take on management changes to sustain or recover their orchard productivity.
