September 2019 Newsletter – Felix Instruments/CID Bio-Science

“We received our Felix 751 [Avocado Quality Meter] and I’ve been using it for around 6 weeks now. Very happy with the convenience of being able to use in the Avocado Orchards. Being able to monitor all aspects of the fruit on tree :), as we will strip pick its very import for the shaded and inside the canopy fruit to meet required dry matter levels.”
