Hi Ive got few acres of zucchinis at mildura area and as soon as the new fruit comes out it starts to turn yellow. Is it a lack of something or is it something else. Can you plz tell me what can i put on them.

It sounds like they havn't been pollinated (fertilised). This is a growing problem with the diminishing bee population. If the area was small you could hand pollinate them but this is hrdly practical on two acres. You could stop and ask any other farmers growing zucchinis, pumkins, etc. They may have some advice.
