b'
\\u201cMacadamia intercropping into an inefficient adult coffee plantation is economically advantageous\\u201d with Rog\\xe9rio Soratto.
Macadamia nuts are a lucrative crop for Brazilian farmers, but long wait times from planting to production can cause financial strain when first planting them. This episode, Rog\\xe9rio Soratto discusses his work researching intercropping coffee and macadamia nuts, which can help ease financial stress and lead to higher economic efficiency for both crops.
Tune in to learn:
- What are the barriers to macadamia nut farming
- How can intercropping these two plants ease financial strain
- How can intercropping these two plants benefit both crops
- How pruning patterns and planting arrangements can affect future growth
