Expert knowledge, practical solutions
We’re bringing expert knowledge straight to you with three focused sessions designed to help you lift productivity and profitability on-farm.
Pest control – insects and weeds
Discover practical strategies to reduce production losses caused by insects and weeds. This session dives into integrated pest management, combining chemical, biological, and mechanical controls.
Key highlights:
- Spotlight on weed control in crops – because investing in crops only to end up with a weedy mess is costly.
- Learn how putting more effort into weed control now can lead to a far more profitable investment later.
Strategic nitrogen use for drought-proofing
Learn how tactical nitrogen use can help you increase pasture growth, extend autumn and spring production, and reduce the impact of summer dry periods.
What you’ll cover:
- Timing nitrogen applications to maximise response.
- Using nitrogen to build pasture cover before summer.
- Cost-benefit analysis of applying nitrogen.
- Environmental considerations and compliance with regional caps.
- Focus on red clover.
Measuring and managing pasture with AIMER
