SUMMARY:Hort Connections 2024
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, AUSVEG and International Fresh Produce Association A-NZ joined forces to establish Hort Connections – the largest horticulture conference and trade show in Australasia. \nHort Connections 2024 will be hosted between 3-5 June at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC). Hort Connections has grown to a 3\,000-delegate event and welcomes more than two times the number of growers than it did at the time of conception. Hort Connections 2019 was hosted at the MCEC and was the largest conference ever produced. We are excited to return in 2024 for a bigger and better conference than ever before. \nAll areas of horticulture will be recognised and celebrated at the conference\, bringing together members from right across the vegetable\, fruit and floral sectors. Hort Connections will yet again proudly showcase exciting new products\, services and technologies to help shape the Australian and New Zealand industry – highlighting solutions in agricultural technology\, finance\, labour\, energy and environmental sustainability. \nAttendee analysis indicates a diverse cross-section of the produce industry attend Hort Connections\, with those identifying as a grower/packer/processor forming the largest segment. \nJoin us as we gather in Melbourne to hold what will be the best opportunity of the year to expand your markets\, and connect with current and prospective business partners\, clients\, and peers.

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:Werribee: Manage pest and disease risk on farm using technology
DESCRIPTION:Drop in when it suits\, or lock in your spot – register here. \nVisitors can unknowingly bring pests\, diseases and weeds onto a farm. Dirty boots\, vehicles\, or farm supplies could carry unwelcome hitchhikers – which can have potentially devastating impacts. \nAUSVEG and Onside are evaluating how digitised farm visitor management can support decision making and return to trade when a new pest arrives. Vegetable growers\, field staff and agronomists can sign up and access Onside for free. \nDrop in to learn how you can use Onside to: \nDigitally map your farm\nCreate and share a live map of your property – an Onside product specialist will be onsite to help get you set up. \nAutomate visitor notifications\nGrowers receive live visitor notifications\, no matter where they are\, or how many entrances. 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 Werribee for hosting the event. \nFor more info contact:\nRosalie Daniel\n0432 842 794\nrosalie.daniel@ausveg.com.au \nwww.getonside.com/ausveg \n  \nAgriculture Victoria’s food safety team will be onsite from 1:00pm to 2:00pm to answer any questions growers may have on the new Food Safety Standards. Information on that session can be found here. \n  \nThis project been funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable research and development levy and funds from Australian Government.
