    Hi,

    I just got off a conversation with an avocado field researcher in Israel.

    He ran a two year field trial testing potassium phosphite and nitrification inhibitors.

    He published (right now only in Hebrew) very interesting results.

    The best treatment was the combination of the two.

    It showed 30-50% increase in yields two years in a row.

    I don’t really understand what the nitrification inhibitors do.

    Going to learn more about it tomorrow.

    Meeting with a fertilizer specialist.

    Any thoughts?

    Best,

    Ido
