This project is built on the previous Future Proofing Vegetable Production project and presents a series of on-line workshops and tutorials and make the lessons available to the wider fresh vegetable production industry.
We previously published our first courses and have seen uptake. Give them a try.
- Course 1 Nutrient management for vegetable crops has three main sections: Nutrient management principles, Taking representative samples, and Nitrogen (a special case).
- Course 2 Run an on-farm fertiliser trial, follows our Ten Step Plan for a successful trial you might run to compare alternative fertiliser rates for your crops on your farm.
We have published the next two courses in our series of online learning resources. There are notes and videos to guide your learning journey!
- Course 3 Fertiliser application equipment explains different types of application equipment and the factors you need to get right to apply the right amount evenly.
- Course 4 Irrigation Equipment Performance considers irrigation efficiency, soil water management and assessing irrigation systems using the IRRIG8Lite tool.
Course 5 is on its way. It covers nutrient budgeting, determining how much nutrient your crop is likely to require, how much is available and how much extra is justified.
You can access the free online courses here, but you do need to be registered.
