SUMMARY:Winter Warmer Seminar: Plant health in vegetable production
DESCRIPTION:Joel Williams from Integrated Soils will outline what is meant by plant health and how to achieve it. Plants produce a suite of specialised and sophisticated defence biochemicals to protect themselves\, deter pest and attract beneficials; however\, they cannot optimise these protective processes without key nutrients and beneficial organisms which support plant health and immunity. \n  \nAgriculture Victoria\, Maffra: Thurs Aug 8th from 11am – 2pm (lunch included) \n  \nTo register for the Seminar Series\, please email emily.scott@foodandfibregippsland.com.au \nPlease advise of any dietary requirements when you register. \n  \nLunch sponsored by Rabobank.

SUMMARY:Nitrogen inhibitors and responsive fertiliser programs: Demonstration Trial Walk in Dean
DESCRIPTION:Join PotatoLink for a field walk at the PotatoLink Victorian demonstration site\, where they are exploring ways to optimise fertiliser practices for potato crops. The demonstration is focused on: \n\nEvaluate the impact of using Nitrogen Inhibitor base fertilisers at different rates on potato crop yield (marketable tuber weight)\, quality (size distribution\, defects and specific gravity)\, and gross margins.\nCompare a crop sampling-based responsive 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.

SUMMARY:National Renewables in Agriculture Conference and Expo
DESCRIPTION:On-farm renewables are a valuable opportunity for farmers to cut costs and emissions. \n\n\n\n\nThis event brings together farmers\, agriculture and energy consultants\, peak bodies and Government representatives to share stories of on-farm renewables\, their business case and discuss what’s driving the transformation of energy use in agriculture. \nLarge scale solar and wind developments present opportunities for farmers and regional communities if planned well with meaningful engagement around benefit sharing. These topics plus combining farming and solar\, termed agrivoltaics\, also forms part of the yearly Conference program.
