Protected Cover and Canopy Management Workshop with Dr Greg Lang (Yarra Valley)

The Extension and Communication project team are excited to be hosting Dr Greg Lang from Michigan University in August for some protective cover and canopy management workshops in the Yarra Valley Victoria, while he is in Australia for the Fruit Growers Victoria Conference  

The workshops will focus on management under protective covers, what considerations growers should be making in these systems, and how canopy management can be altered.
