Join PotatoLink for an in-field demonstration of soil, sap and tissue sampling, and a laboratory tour.
Nutrition and disease management have been identified as priority topics for PotatoLink to focus on in Tasmania, so we have put together an event with AgVita to walk through their soil, sap and tissue testing process.
The event will commence in field, with a demonstration of how and when to sample for soil, sap and tissue testing, so you can test effectively and at the best times. AgVita will then lead a tour of their laboratory facility for you to understand what you can learn from the analysis process.
We hope to answer the following questions during the event -
What do you learn from soil, sap and tissue testing?
How do you interpret the results?
How can testing inform your nutrition program?
How can better nutrition programs reduce your risk of plant disease
