On Tuesday 17th September 2024, Melons Australia and other Fruit and Vegetable associations hosted the final Roadshow of the year. The event saw over 60 attendees, who had the chance to observe firsthand how disease management practices can impact crop growth. The field trial walk provided a valuable opportunity for growers, agronomists, and industry experts to engage with the Agreco Australia team about their ongoing trials in melon disease management, including gummy stem.
After the field walk, we held a series of presentations covering key challenges facing our industry, such as pest and disease control, biosecurity, quality management, labour, and sustainability.
In the coming weeks, we will share the findings from the field trials and the Roadshow presentations on the Melons Australia website. Stay updated by following us on social media.
This National Horticulture Roadshow is being delivered by the NFF Horticulture Council with funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) through the Showcasing Australian Horticulture grant.
