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:Webinar: Skills in Demand and National Innovation Visas
DESCRIPTION:As a part of reform measures outlined in the Migration Strategy\, the Australian Government is introducing the National Innovation visa and changes to the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) (subclass 482) visa\, which will be reformed and renamed as the Skills in Demand (subclass 482) visa. \nThe National Innovation Visa (NIV) will be a small\, exclusive program with an increased focus on high-calibre talented migrants. The NIV is aimed at established and emerging leaders to ensure Australia attracts migrants from across the world who will help create jobs and drive investment in key sectors of the Australian economy. \nThe new Skills in Demand (SID) visa provides a streamlined pathway for skilled migrants\, promoting worker mobility while offering a simple process for employers to access the skilled workers they need to help their businesses to grow. \nThe Department of Home Affairs invites you to attend an online information session to learn more about these new programs.

It will offer a platform to find common ground on universal challenges\, while bringing together the natural and technological world\, and creating a dialogue between traditional knowledge and new innovative approaches to food production and natural resource management.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Internal Fruit Rot of Capsicum – Project summary
DESCRIPTION:Join the SWICP team as we talk with the (VG17012) Internal fruit rot of capsicums project team. Dr Jenny Ekman\, Dr Len Tesoriero\, Dr Naomi Diplock and Ryan Hall will discuss the findings of management trials\, disease surveys\, and pathogenicity trials from the project and suggestions for the future. \nInternal Fruit Rot of capsicums is an important disease in capsicum fruit. Caused by a number of fungal species the disease can remain hidden until it reaches to consumers\, resulting in complaints and reductions in consumer confidence. \n\nThis webinar will cover the trials undertaken to identify the causal organisms in Australia\, in-crop management trials \,and postharvest trials. \nFor more information please contact Ryan Hall on 0406 994 509 or ryan.hall@ahr.com.au from Applied Horticultural Research

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.
