AHR - Environmental and agronomic optimisation of strawberries in Northern NSW
This workstream presents an opportunity to develop and test tools to manage crop irrigation so that containers receive the correct amount of water. This can be combined with more sophisticated fertiliser management techniques and training to help growers apply the correct amount of fertiliser, especially nitrogen.
AHR will work with local growers and the supply chain to pilot improved irrigation, nutrition, and environmental monitoring, showcasing the benefits to the wider industry.
Lead partner: Applied Horticultural Research
