Biosecurity Guidelines For Contractors

PDF

Biosecurity

Contractors and their staff have a responsibility to prevent the spread of unwanted pests, such as insects, weeds and diseases when they work on farming properties. Pests can be spread between farming regions or even paddocks, through the movement of machinery, vehicles and staff. The following simple guidelines will assist contractors to minimise biosecurity risks when working on farms.

Carbon-amelioration-in-horticulture.pdf
Carbon Amelioration In Horticulture

PDF

Growing

Biochar is a new, high-carbon soil amendment that has shown promise in improving soil and increasing yields in crops. Biochar is created by heating organic biomass, such as chipped tree prunings, garden waste, chicken manure, rice husks and other agricultural by-products at high temperatures and with no oxygen. Preliminary research into biochar application to soil has found improvements to soil structure, fertiliser and water efficiency. Biochar increases soil carbon immediately after addition, and studies have estimated that biochar will remain in soil for hundreds of years.

Waterlogged soils are deficient in oxygen as the oxygen between soil particles is replaced by water. Oxygen is essential for healthy root growth and the lack of oxygen in soils over a period of time results in root and eventually plant death. As flood damaged crops may have extensive root death, irrigation timing is vital to recovery and to avoid ongoing plant stress.

Neonicotinoids-Understanding The Issues

PDF

Neonicotinoid pesticides have been identified as connected to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) of bees. However, research strongly contradicts this. Research suggests that CCD of managed hives is likely caused by a combination of factors, including the 1987 introduction of the destructive Varroa mite, bee pathogens and the constant stress of transporting hives to new locations by beekeepers.

No-Till Permanent Beds For Vegetable Production

PDF

Growing

A no-till farming system has been developed for horticultural production, utilizing permanent beds that are not cultivated after initial land preparation. Cover crops are established on beds, grown to maturity, killed and then flattened into an organic mulch. Commercial crops are directly sown or transplanted into this cover crop residue. This system aims to increase sustainability in relevant horticultural industries through the long-term maintenance of soil health and stability, as well as eliminating reliance on plastic mulch, which is difficult to dispose of, in an environmentally responsible fashion.

Protected Cropping For Melons

Growing

As a response to markets demanding greater diversity of this commodity, growers have experimented with growing a greater variety of fruit types. Galia melons have been evaluated in field crops in North Queensland but yield and quality were reduced by variable climate conditions, foliar diseases, and decaying fruits in contact with soil. Overseas, it is common practice to grow some of these melon types using protective cropping systems. These systems involve growing plants under a frame structure covered with a film or screen material.

Weeds are a significant problem for many Australian cucurbit producers (including in pumpkins, melons, cucumber, and zucchini), given the sprawling nature of cucurbit vines and the lack of registered herbicides suitable for selective control of broadleaf weeds. This report is a first step in identifying the impact of weeds in cucurbit production, and areas in which weed control may be improved.

Field trials with new tomato, melon and watermelon varieties in south-east Queensland over 2 years (2011/12 and 2012/13) clearly demonstrated the value of running local variety trials before committing to the large-scale import of seed of new fruit and vegetable varieties. Around 40% of imported melon varieties were not resistant to local races of powdery and downy mildew diseases. A number of other watermelon, melon and tomato varieties proved to be poorly adapted to the new environment here and so were less productive than expected.
