Rombola Family Farms in Griffith, New South Wales, will host a melon demonstration site for the Soil Wealth ICP project.
The farm produces rockmelons, watermelons and honeydew melons in the fertile Riverina region.
Soil Wealth ICP team members Umberto Calvo and Dr Kelvin Montagu (AHR) will work with grower Rob Bain to reduce plastic mulch and effectively manage fusarium.
The farm’s innovative approach involves growing a wheat crop and then terminating it through strip-till practices, which not only prevents erosion but also suppresses weeds.
