June/July MacGroups – Root system health, IPDM and much more

How healthy is your root system? And what can you do to improve it? Come along to the Australian macadamia industry June/July MacGroups where we’ll be taking an in-depth look ‘below the ground’, washing out and mapping the root system of orchard trees. 

As well, our industry experts will provide the latest updates on pest and disease management, regional trends and innovative grower practices. This is always the most popular MacGroup of the year, so RSVP NOW to avoid disappointment! MacGroups are open to AMS members and levy payers only.

Topics to be covered will include:

• Tree physiology focus on root system health and development, nutrient uptake, water availability and flush management
• Integrated pest & disease management, including effective monitoring tools, disease diagnosis and mitigation
• Crop protection changes and efficacy trial data
• Innovative grower orchard practices
• Pollination research findings
• Latest government grants available to growers
• Partner presentation – Hayden Higgins, Senior Analyst, RaboResearch Food & Agribusiness Research
