SUMMARY:TAS: Integrated Pest Management in Potato Crops Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join leading industry experts for a practical\, field-based workshop focused on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and an update on the Integrated Disease Management Program for the Australian Potato Industry project. \nDesigned for growers and agronomists\, this workshop combines foundational knowledge with hands-on learning to support informed\, in-season decision-making. Participants will gain practical strategies they can apply immediately to improve pest and disease outcomes for the remainder of the season. \nWorkshop Details\nIPM Fundamentals \nDr Paul Horne and Rebecca Addison (IPM Technologies) will cover the fundamentals of IPM in potato crops\, including pest monitoring\, recognising beneficial insects\, and making informed management decisions. A guided field walk will follow\, giving participants hands-on experience scouting for pests and beneficials and translating observations into practical\, in-season actions. \nIntegrated Disease Management Project Update \nDr Audrey Leo (Simplot and Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture\, University of Tasmania) and Dr Robert Tegg (Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture\, University of Tasmania) will provide an update on a new national Integrated Disease Management Program focused on limiting inoculum build-up\, preventing infection\, and identifying new control options. The program aims to improve diagnostics\, soil health\, and management strategies to reduce the impact of key potato diseases\, including powdery scab\, common scab\, pink rot\, and Rhizoctonia. \nWorkshop Timing \n\n\n10:00 am – Presentations commence (sharp) followed by a practical scouting session and project updates. \n\n\n1:30 pm – Lunch and networking with growers\, agronomists\, and industry representatives.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Unlocking opportunities to increase vegetable consumption
DESCRIPTION:Join Hort Innovation for an insight‑rich session with Fiftyfive5 as they unpack the latest consumer research on vegetable consumption. They’ll break down what Australians think they’re eating\, what’s actually happening\, and the most practical industry levers to help drive an extra daily serve across the country. \nHere’s what’s on the agenda: \n\nWhat Australians believe about their vegetable intake and the reality behind the numbers.\nThe biggest barriers shaping behaviour (time\, effort\, confidence and confusion about what counts as a serve).\nWhere the strongest opportunities lie (by audience\, occasion and category) to unlock meaningful growth.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Resistance Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar gives growers a real-life example of how good stewardship and resistance management benefit them and their industry. This webinar also provides extension officers with valuable skills for driving engagement and promoting industry-minded behaviour amongst growers. \nThis event is open to all growers\, extension officers and interested parties and is FREE to attend. \nDominic Reisig (North Carolina State University\, USA) is an extension specialist and researcher supporting broadacre row crops\, including corn\, cotton\, peanuts\, and soybeans. He studies insect pest management and how to slow resistance to Bt crops. \nDrawing on U.S. experience with Bt corn and cotton and caterpillar pests such as corn earworm\, Dominic will outline the resistance problem\, why stewardship is essential\, and how behaviour-change approaches were used to shift practices. The session will include what was recommended\, what worked (and what didn’t)\, and lessons relevant beyond broadacre cropping.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Biostimulant Products: Cutting through the noise
DESCRIPTION:This practical webinar will provide a clear\, non-technical overview of biological products\, with a focus on biostimulants such as humates\, amino acids and seaweed extracts. We’ll explain what these products are (and are not)\, and where they typically sit in vegetable systems — including soil health\, nutrient cycling\, root establishment and crop resilience. \nThe session will also cover the regulatory landscape and Fertilizer Australia’s Biostimulant Code of Practice\, helping growers understand levels of assurance and what to look for in the marketplace. \nA key focus will be evidence and efficacy — why results vary\, what “good evidence” looks like. We’ll finish with practical tips on questions to ask suppliers\, how to trial products effectively on-farm\, and a brief update on the SWICP Biological Products Database. \nThis webinar is designed to help growers and advisors make informed\, confident decisions about biological products.
