SUMMARY:Webinar: Bites & Insights - Being Prepared for Fall Armyworm (FAW)
DESCRIPTION:Join VegNET Tasmania for a 30-minute webinar to get essential insights into Fall Armyworm (FAW)\, a major pest threatening Australia’s horticulture sector and beyond. \nFirst detected in Far North Queensland in January 2020\, FAW has since spread across QLD\, NSW\, WA\, NT\, and VIC\, causing significant crop damage. Preferential crops include sweet corn\, capsicum\, beetroot\, tomato\, onion\, cauliflower\, lettuce\, potato\, maize\, rice\, sorghum\, and wheat. \nIt is a declared pest in Tasmania and any sightings must be reported to Biosecurity Tasmania. \nIn this session\, Tayla Field\, VegNET Tasmania Regional Development Officer\, will host a discussion with Dr. Ramesh Raj Puri\, Extension Officer from QLD DPI\, who has been working on Hort Innovation funded project: “National Fall Armyworm innovation system for the Australian vegetable industry”. \nWe’ll also hear from Veejay’s Kalfresh agronomist\, John Nancarrow\, who will share first-hand experiences on how FAW has affected crops and farm operations in Queensland’s Bowen growing region. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nCrop impacts seen in other regions\nThe importance of monitoring and early detection\nHow to visually identify FAW\nFAW behaviour and peak activity periods\nUseful resources available for growers\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to get informed and be prepared for any FAW incursions in Tasmania. \n\nBites & Insights are quick & engaging lunchtime webinars designed to deliver valuable knowledge in bite-sized sessions to Tasmanian vegetable growers and industry service providers — presented by VegNET Tasmania.

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.

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.
