This looks like tip burn that is due to an imbalance of salts
We dealt with this here
https://www.plantvillage.org/en/quest...
"Salt accumulations are often confused with nutritional deficiencies. Avocados are particularly sensitive to salts, accumulating chlorides and sodium more readily than most other tree crops. Rapid burn at the base or leaf tip followed by defoliation suggests either an excessive fertilizer application or inadequate irrigation. Extra root‐zone leaching during the summer is indicated."
