SUMMARY:TAS: Devonport - Level Up Hort Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:Costs are high\, inputs are tight\, and the goalposts keep moving. The Level Up Hort Roadshow is delivering a short and sharp session in a region near you\, focused on where you can build margin back into your business. \nThe benchmark data shows us where profit is built and eroded in vegetable businesses\, and unless you look at your numbers closely\, you may not see what you’re leaving on the table. \nJoin as they walk through the four main profit drivers and turn insights into action\, powerful solutions\, and how to apply them to your own business. No numbers shared in the room\, no judgement\, just a clearer picture of where your margin is bleeding out\, and what to do about it.

SUMMARY:Optimising Fertiliser Use: Demonstration Trial Walk in North Motton (TAS)
DESCRIPTION:Join PotatoLink for a field walk at the PotatoLink Tasmanian demonstration site\, where they are exploring ways to optimise fertiliser practices for potato crops. The demonstration is focused on: \n\nEvaluating the impact of different fertiliser rates and timings (pre-spread\, at planting\, and top-dress) on potato crop yield (marketable tuber weight)\, quality (size distribution\, defects and specific gravity).\nCompare a crop sampling-based fertiliser program with a conventional fertiliser program to determine their effectiveness in optimising fertiliser use and profitability over a single growing season.\n\nDuring the field walk\, you will hear about the strategies employed\, view and discuss the crop sampling results to date and understand how these results are shaping the fertiliser program\, and its impact on productivity. \nYou can read more about the demonstration trial here. \nContact: \nFor more information\, please contact Tim Walker\, Regional Representative\, PotatoLink\, tim.walker@potatolink.com.au or 0439 333 811 or Sophia Thach\, Applied Horticultural Research\, sophia.thach@ahr.com.au or 0413 937 313. \nThe field walk will kick off with a BBQ lunch\, registration is essential for catering purposes.

Field staff can automatically let growers know that they’ve arrived. \nCapture high risk biosecurity movements\nVisitors can record plant material\, machinery and equipment movements on and off your property. \nContribute to real-time tracing\nShare an anonymised view of check-in movement data on and off farm with AUSVEG. \nAccess pest and disease updates\nPick up resources and free sticky traps to learn about emerging pests such as Fall armyworm and Tomato potato psyllid \nSee Onside in action\nLearn first hand how Redbank Farm is using Onside to manage their visitors and biosecurity. \n  \nThank you to Redbank Farm for hosting the event. \nFor more info contact:\nRosalie Daniel\n04322842794\nrosalie.daniel@ausveg.com.au \nTayla Field\n0429391538\ntaylaf@rmcg.com.au \nwww.getonside.com/ausveg \n  \nThis project been funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable research and development levy and funds from Australian Government.
