Metzer combines advanced irrigation layout, RootGuard® drippers, CleanLine protection, and fertigation automation to provide a complete, field-proven system for long-term avocado success.
Avocados begin fruiting around year 2 but reach full production after 5–6 years. With high-density planting and precision irrigation, early ROI is achievable within 6–10 years.
Avocados prefer loose, well-aerated soils with 20–40% clay content and a pH of 5.5–7.5. Poor drainage can lead to root diseases and yield loss.
Yes, but with care. Avocados are salt-sensitive, so Metzer recommends using its CleanLine driplines, which resist clogging and protect yield when using reclaimed water.
Metzer’s drip solutions offer controlled delivery directly to the root zone, saving up to 70% water compared to sprinklers, while maintaining ideal soil moisture and aeration.
In some regions, a mature avocado tree can consume up to 250 liters per day. Failure to irrigate properly can reduce yield by up to 30%.
Avocados are sensitive to both overwatering and water stress. Their shallow roots need frequent, light watering and high aeration to prevent root rot and ensure fruit development.
