Small Plot Trials in Tasmania
Mission impossible . . .
At a research facility, we can do small plot trials that target pests and diseases that are difficult to screen within commercial crops. At the research facility, we can generate favourable conditions for infestations or infections. Targets include foliar and soil-borne diseases of cereals, potatoes, onions, brassicas, leafy vegetables and cucurbits.
