SUMMARY:Optimising Fertiliser Use: Demonstration Trial Walk in North Motton (TAS)
DESCRIPTION:Home / PotatoLinkJoin 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.

SUMMARY:Nitrogen inhibitors and responsive fertiliser programs: Demonstration Trial Walk in Dean
DESCRIPTION:Home / PotatoLinkJoin 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:Input use efficiency workshop (Tas) – a focus on nutrition and irrigation
DESCRIPTION:Home / PotatoLinkKeen to cut the costs of inputs and produce more sustainably? \nWell\, the presenters are keen to assist potato\, vegetable and onion growers and agronomists who have been struggling with these issues. \nThe session will be informative and interactive with a focus on how growers can get the most out of the inputs they are applying\, while minimising waste\, and maintaining yields and quality. \nSo\, come along with any questions\, concerns and comments and be prepared to share those with fellow growers and agronomists during the workshop. \nTopics include: \nDoris and Tim\, during their nutrition presentation\, will focus on: \n\nTiming of application aligned to crop growth stages\nRemoval rates\nMonitoring and sampling\nMethods of application\nNutrient function\n\nMarek and Tim will head the irrigation discussion\, focusing on: \n\nUse of ag tech – probes and weather stations for monitoring soil moisture and other conditions: How do they work? What data is obtained? How do you interpret the data? How can they help with decision making?\n\nAlso\, there will be a discussion on different needs for different crops and varieties. \nAnd we will also hear leading growers’ experiences with the above topics.
