Groves

Grove Development

Successful grove management consists of a well-planned tree manipulation program along with a careful planting and tree training system. We believe in more intensive groves - the kind that produces commercial yields at an early age with smaller tree dimensions that facilitate labor and mechanical activities. We use the latest technologies such as our modernized water irrigation system control.

When it comes to irrigated agriculture, well-thought-out water management is crucial to the high quality and high yield. That's why SPF, Inc. invests in its own extensive test plot research and analysis - so our clients don't have to. From this information, we make fertilization and irrigation recommendations to our clients based on this research which is a rare service among farm management companies.

Grove Redevelopment

Redevelopment is just another word for taking a tough look at your avocado or citrus investment to position it for the future. Right now, we consider two ways of re-developing your grove. If your orchard is over 40 years old, it is essential to take an in-depth look. For avocado groves that do not have much root-rot, a recommendation of pruning by topping trees at 14 feet is the only way to go. This can give you an additional 10 to 15 years of production. We have mastered this pruning method and have completed more than 500 acres to date in the industry, all showing vast improvements over orchards that are not topped.

Topping trees give you:
  • Income in 24 months.
  • Bigger fruit for the future.
  • Lower picking costs.
  • Less water use - between 10% to 15%.

Contact us for a price per tree for this service.

The other method of re-development is a replacement. You can view our planting budget to find an approximate cost of replacement. If your grove has much root-rot in avocados, it may be time to look at an alternative crop - we have a couple to choose from and are very excited about their future.
