Soil Wealth and ICP NZ Update
28th August @ 8:00 am – 10:00 am
Protecting crops and maintaining healthy soil is vital for vegetable growers to improve productivity, profitability and sustainability.
Since 2014, the Soil Wealth and Integrated Crop Protection (Soil Wealth ICP) project has provided research and development (R&D) extension services, products and communication on improved soil management and plant health to the Australian vegetable and melon industry. The Australian melon industry joined the project in 2023.
The project responds to increasing economic, consumer, environmental and technological demands on vegetable and melon producers. It delivers integrated, independent, research-based information to growers and advisers to support business decisions on soil management and plant health.
As part of their Study tour to New Zealand, come hear about the Soil Wealth and ICP project, what it has achieved, and current activities. Have the chance to hear directly from growers involved in the project and where they see the value of this work.
Location: Plant & Food Research, 49 Cronin Rd, Pukekohe
Date: Wednesday 28 August
Time: 8:00 am – 10:00am
A coffee cart will be available from 9:30am
