Abstract
Lychees (Litchi chinensis Sonn.), rambutans (Nephelium lappaceum L.), star apple (Chrysophyllum caimito), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) and durian (Durio zibethinus) are grown organically in Australia.
Organic soil nutrition, weed, pest and disease management allows the farm to produce high yields of quality fruit.
The use of insectary plants and other organic control methods has resulted in a significant reduction in insect pests and diseases.
IPM scouting surveys show that the organic farm has the least number of insect pest species.
Soil tests show that soil fertility is constantly increasing.
