Welcome to another episode of the Protected Cropping Podcast series, where we interview key partners of the Hort Innovation Frontiers program - an initiative designed to advance horticulture through protected cropping innovation and to help growers maintain profitability, while adapting to the future.
In this episode, Anita Chennell speaks with Demetrio Bruno (Research Agronomist, AHR) about the current trials running with commercial berry farmers in Western Australia.
How do you know if your berries are getting the right water and nutrients, or if some is draining away? Deme explains what data the trials are tracking, why it matters and how taking the guesswork out could improve crop performance, cut costs and reduce nutrient losses.
