SUMMARY:New Zealand study tour - expressions of interest closing soon
DESCRIPTION:Join the Soil Wealth ICP team for an inaugural international study tour to New Zealand’s North Island (Auckland\, Pukekohe\, Cambridge and Tauranga) from 25-31 August. \nExpression of interest submissions will close at 12pm on Wednesday 7 August 12pm  \nOver one week you will have the chance to: \n\nExplore soil management and crop health innovations through engaging farm and site visits\nConnect with international growers\, agronomists and industry partners at the Horticulture Conference and RSE Conference\, which will provide three days of industry-centric speakers and content\, including visits to leading farm businesses\nAdvance your business with industry-leading practices\, technology and R&D insights.\n\nHighlights include:\nNZ vegetable summit: an overview of vegetable production in New Zealand\, the challenges faced\, and what work is being done to combat this.  \nAS Wilcox is a family-owned\, 4th generation\, vegetable growing business based in Pukekohe with a strong focus on sustainable practices and adopting innovation. Visit will include an overview of their practices and farm visits.  \nLeaderBrand is a family-owned vegetable growing business that will provide an overview of their regenerative farming project looking at cover crops\, compost\, biodiversity\, and enhancing the community.  \nPlant and Food Research is a NZ govt-owned research institute that provides much of the research and scientific knowledge to the NZ vegetable industry. They will provide an overview of current innovative research projects.  \nGreengrower is a vertical farming operation looking to grow vegetables more sustainably with less water\, less electricity\, and a focus on renewable energy sources.  \nHort NZ conference: NZ’s annual horticultural industry conference theme is growing together today\, for tomorrow. Speakers range from across the industry. Includes a field trip and gala dinner.  \nDownload the brochure to learn more \nSpaces are limited so register your interest! \nThe Soil Wealth ICP project will part fund travel\, accommodation\, conference registration and some meals\, with an upfront fixed grower co-contribution to be confirmed.  \nSoil Wealth ICP is funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable and melon research and development levies with contributions from the Australian Government.

SUMMARY:Potato & Vegetable Protection: Managing Serpentine Leaf Miner\, Biosecurity & Disease Challenges
DESCRIPTION:About the Workshop\nJoin American plant pathologist\, Dr Amy Charkowski (Colorado State University)\, Praise Taddle (QDAF)\, and Shakira Johnson (AUSVEG) for an interactive in-person workshop. You’ll gain knowledge and practical skills to enhance your pest and disease management and biosecurity strategies.\n\nTopics: \n\n\nEnhancing biosecurity with practical tools\nPresented by Shakira Johnson (AUSVEG)\nHear about the latest research on high-priority plant pests and biosecurity risk pathways. Explore practical tools for creating a basic biosecurity plan\, including a new app designed to enhance biosecurity measures by capturing traceability data\, assessing risks\, and supporting other farm management practices such as paddock mapping \n\n\nBiological control options of Serpentine leaf miner\nPresented by Praise Taddle (QDAF)\nDiscover effective biological control options for Serpentine leaf miner\, including beneficial species that help manage this pest. Learn field techniques for monitoring beneficial populations\, processing samples\, and strategies for attracting and ensuring the survival of beneficial insects. \n\n\nManaging potato diseases\nPresented by Dr Amy Charkowski (Colorado State University)\nGain insights from U.S. practices. Explore management strategies for controlling Blackleg and soft rots\, Rhizoctonia\, Early blight and Late blight and understand the impacts of weather on these diseases. \n\n\nThis workshop is open to vegetable and potato growers and agronomists for all sessions\, however the disease session will focus on potato diseases. It will include lunch and conclude with drinks and the opportunity to talk with experts and fellow growers. \nEvent Details\nDate: Friday 30 August 2024 \nTime: 11:00 am – 3:00 pm (including lunch) \nLocation: Gatton Research Station\n107 John Howie Memorial Drive\, Gatton\, Qld \nRegistration: Click here to register \n[Please register as numbers are required for catering] \nMeet the Presenters\nDr Amy Charkowski\, Colorado State University\nProfessor of Plant Pathology and the Research Associate Dean\, Colorado State University \nFrom 2001-2016\, she served as a faculty member in the Plant Pathology Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and as the administrative director of the Wisconsin Seed Potato Certification Program. She earned her B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Ph.D. from Cornell University. \nCharkowski’s research is mainly on plant pathogens that affect seed potato production or trade\, including potato viruses\, Spongospora subterranea\, and soft rot bacterial pathogens of potato. She teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in IPM and plant pathology. She served as department head of Agricultural Biology from 2016-2023 and during this time the department doubled its research expenditures\, and developed an undergraduate major in Agricultural Biology\, a minor in Agricultural Data Science\, and an online Masters in Pest Management. \nShakira Johnson\, AUSVEG\nBiosecurity Coordinator \nShakira coordinates the AUSVEG-PHA Farm Biosecurity Program\, engaging with industry\, research and government to enhance awareness\, preparedness and resilience and minimise the impact of pests and pathogens not currently present or recently arrived in Australia. Shakira has a background in molecular plant pathology\, data-driven decision-making to support area freedom claims and strategic coordination of cross-industry collaborative projects\, research extension\, and science communication. \nPraise Taddle\, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries \nDr Frezzel Praise Tadle has been working as an agricultural entomologist and has a substantial background in integrated pest management (IPM). She has worked on biological control agents such as the egg parasitoid Telenomus sp. including the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae. She also has a wealth of experience in extension work\, field surveillance\, and biosecurity incursion responses. Praise has been involved in fall armyworm and serpentine leaf miner projects looking into different parasitoids\, insecticide trial\, and host preference. \nFind Out More\nPlease contact Naomi Diplock\, Applied Horticultural Research & PotatoLink | 0403 740 123 | naomi.diplock@potatolink.com.au.
