Reaching new heights in a cucumber hydro system: Carabooda, WA demonstration site showcase

Learn how to improve plant health and nutrient use efficiency by making the right fertigation decisions in greenhouse vegetable production at this demonstration site showcase.

The Soil Wealth ICP project is working with Doug Chamberlain of Grown Smart Produce to manage nutrition balance in an intensive cucumber hydroponic system in a newly commissioned greenhouse.

Participants will hear about the Soil Wealth ICP demonstration trial which has been run by RMCG in collaboration with VegNET WA.

Topics of discussion will include:

·       Nutrition - How to make good fertigation decisions to get the best nutritional outcomes for your hydroponically grown crop

·       Precision agriculture - How sensors can be used to monitor the crop remotely and in real-time.
