Knowledge Hub

Vegalogue is a podcast from Australian vegetable peak industry body AUSVEG. Each month we take a look at issues affecting the Australian vegetable, potato and onion sectors, unpacking levy-funded research and meeting some of the incredible people who make up the vegetable industry.

This month, we discuss:

How the transition from varroa mite eradication to management has gone, and the priorities for the new plan.
The cross-agriculture collaboration to manage Fall armyworm amidst the largest outbreak of the pest since it was detected in Australia.
Why cauliflowers need a sun hat, and what growers are looking for in new cauli varieties.

Guests:

Zarmeen Hassan, National Manager of Biosecurity and Extension, AUSVEG
Dr Melina Miles, Principal Entomologist, Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
Eliza Seymour, Regional Business Manager – Victoria & Tasmania, Bayer Vegetable Seeds.
