Join us for a field walk at the PotatoLink Tasmanian demonstration site, where we are exploring ways to optimise fertiliser practices for potato crops. The demonstration is focused on:

Evaluating the impact of different fertiliser rates and timings (pre-spread, at planting, and top-dress) on potato crop yield (marketable tuber weight), quality (size distribution, defects and specific gravity).
Compare a crop sampling-based fertiliser program with a conventional fertiliser program to determine their effectiveness in optimising fertiliser use and profitability over a single growing season.

During the field walk, you will hear about the strategies employed, view and discuss the crop sampling results to date and understand how these results are shaping the fertiliser program, and its impact on productivity.

You can read more about the demonstration trial here.
