SUMMARY:Manage pest and disease risk on farm using technology
DESCRIPTION:Home / Forthside Vegetable Research FacilityDrop 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 Redbank Farm for hosting the event. \nFor more info contact:\nRosalie Daniel\n0432 842 794\nrosalie.daniel@ausveg.com.au \nTayla Field\n0429 391 538\ntaylaf@rmcg.com.au \nwww.getonside.com/ausveg \n  \nThis project been funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable research and development levy and funds from Australian Government.

SUMMARY:Forthside Open Day (Forth)
DESCRIPTION:Home / Forthside Vegetable Research FacilityThe Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) Vegetable Research Facility in Forthside is once again throwing open its doors for its open day\, which will be held this year on Wednesday 10 October. \nThe facility’s annual open day is a great chance for growers and agronomists to see research and development in action\, talk to researchers about their projects\, and network with other industry members who are interested in agronomy. \nAfter the field day finishes\, the TIA will be putting on a spit roast dinner from 4.00pm-6.00pm where you can grab a bite to eat and catch up with other attendees. \nThis year’s event is once again free to attend and will feature current agronomy trials being run by the TIA\, including research into: \n\nseed management;\nbiosecurity;\nsoil health; and\nstrip tillage.\n\nThe field day is being run in collaboration with the levy-funded VegNET project\, which is being delivered in Tasmania by RMCG. \nIf you haven’t been to the research facility before\, the TIA has created an virtual tour where you can explore the site before coming along to the open day. \nWe also published an article about last year’s open day in Vegetables Australia magazine\, so if you’d like to know what you can expect\, take a look at page 48 of the January/December edition (page 25 of the PDF). \nTo register to attend the event\, visit its Eventbrite page.
