Do you grow Kiwi fruit?
KiwiPoles are made to assist in stringing Kiwi fruit, using poles to increase Kiwi fruit trays per hectare.
Why are the Zespri™ trial blocks growing up poles??
- Less expensive than other sytems
- Lighter and safer to use
- 5% to 10% lower reject rates ( location dependant )
- Place canes and get fruit where you want it ( rubbing )
- Staying away from ag beam and hanging below canes away from leaf rub , spur wood rub and fruiting storks
- No tying up canes and spur wood hanging down resulting in lower sprayer damage.
- Less skilled staff to prune and tie down
- Ability to zone thin to achieve an ideal zespri profile
- Achieve fruit in best dry matter area of cane ( contentious )
- Allow better sunlight penetration
- More mature leaf feeding the vine
- Reduced new cane loss due to blowouts
- Reduced Wind rub
- Higher packout due to lower reject rates
- Larger canes so the ability to produce larger fruit
