POTATO MECHANISATION PROJECT
About the project
The new Hort Innovation-funded project Mechanisation R&D and demonstration for the Australian Potato Industry (PT25003), delivered by Applied Horticultural Research (AHR), will identify promising near-commercial technologies and test how they perform under real-world Australian conditions.
it will put cutting-edge potato AgTech to the test on commercial farms, with technologies like precision planters, optical grading and autonomous field equipment to show growers what actually works before they invest. Growers and industry members are invited to register their interest in being involved.
We want to hear from you!
