Brought to you by Whanganui Rivers Catchment Collective, Rangitikei Rivers Catchment Collective, B+LNZ and MPI On Farm Support.
Topics
Have you ever wondered …
- If different porina species have different impacts on pasture?
- What is the impact of natural enemies on porina?
- When is the best time to monitor for porina flights?
- Does plant resistance/endophyte provide meaningful control?
- What is the best grazing strategy for porina impacted pastures?
If so, join us for a discussion with Sarah Mansfield, Senior Scientist from BSI-Agresearch, about porina biology, economic impacts, management, and potential research that may provide new tools.
Discuss effective pesticide application and regrassing options for impacted pastures with industry experts.
Horizons biosecurity team will also provide us the how-to of Californian thistle biocontrol, and we will discuss how this may also help reduce porina impacts.
