vegetablesWA Trip to Manjimup – Cover Cropping & Strip-Tillage Field Walk
This week, Potatolink and Soilwealth, with the assistance of vegetablesWA and AHR, held a discussion and field walk on two grower properties in the Manjimup area. Dr Kelvin Montagu and Steph Tabone spearheaded the discussions, which featured cover cropping, Bio-fumigation, Soil biology and Chemistry, and strip tillage.
vegetablesWA Regional Development officer said the discussion and demonstrations were informative and helpful for our grower members. Seeing such a significant turnout was excellent, particularly as the speakers travelled from Sydney.
“It was great to see such a huge turnout for the event. I’m glad that growers are taking part and showing interest in these exciting and interesting topics,” he said.
A huge thanks to Jake Ryan and Andrew Falcinella for allowing the event to be held on their properties.
