PotatoLink Podcast Episode 4: Investigating oxalis troubles in Tasmanian potato crops
Tim Walker, WalkerAg Consultancy, Tasmania
Worldwide there are 570 species of oxalis and approximately 30 species in Australia. Recently, PotatoLink's Tasmanian regional representative Tim Walker, has noticed that one type of Oxalis, (Oxalis latifolia) known as fishtail wood-sorrel, is becoming a problem on more and more properties in Northern Tasmania. In late March 2023, PotatoLink and VEGNET held a paddock walk focussing on controlling oxalis.
This podcast covers what Oxalis is, what it looks like, why it's a problem, and what to do about it. It also summarises the field walk held in March 2023 and the outcomes from conversations had on the day.
