Avocado is a high-value crop that requires precise care to achieve maximum quality and profitability. Among the most effective techniques to stimulate flowering and improve fruit set is avocado girdling.
Although it may seem like a simple procedure, success largely depends on how it is carried out and with which tool it is performed. This is where the M19 girdling tools from Manzana Nules make the difference.
What is avocado girdling?
Girdling consists of making superficial and controlled cuts in the bark of the trunk or main branches. These cuts regulate the sap flow and cause the tree to concentrate more energy in the upper part, which translates into more flowers, better fruit set, and higher-quality fruits.
Advantages of girdling with the M19 girdlers
✅ Stimulates flowering and yield: the tree invests more resources in the fruit.
✅ Greater uniformity and size of avocados.
✅ Precision cutting: the special M19 model incorporates a calibrated disc that makes a 2 mm cut, the most suitable measure for avocado cultivation.
✅ Safety and reliability: by controlling the depth, damage to the wood of the tree is avoided.
✅ Robust and ergonomic design, intended for intensive field use.
Recommended procedure
- Use the M19 girdler from Manzana Nules with a 2 mm disc, specifically designed for avocado.
- Make longitudinal cuts on the trunk or main branches.
- The cut should affect only the bark, without damaging the inner wood.
When to perform girdling?
The ideal moment is before flowering, generally at the end of winter or the beginning of spring, depending on the growing area. Applied during this period, girdling achieves maximum effectiveness and ensures a balance between vigor and production.
🌱 In conclusion: avocado girdling is an economical and effective technique to improve flowering and crop quality. With the M19 girdling tools from Manzana Nules, especially in its version with a 2 mm disc, the grower has the perfect tool: precise, safe, and adapted to the real needs of avocado cultivation.
