Pest and Disease Masterclass
VegNET Gippsland will be hosting the AUSVEG Biosecurity team and Agriculture Victoria's Area Wide Management project team for two workshops in April.
These will be hands-on masterclasses where scientific experts and industry advisors will run practical sessions on pests and diseases affecting vegetables.
There’ll also be an update on from AUSVEG about their recent biosecurity projects and activities.
The dates and locations are:
2 - 4pm, 12 April in Korumburra, and

The workshops will include practical activities to diagnose viral, bacterial or fungal disease straight from the paddock. They are part of the Area Wide Management Project ( Hort Innovation Project VG16086 ).
Some food and refreshments will be provided, with an opportunity to socialise with the experts and other attendees after the sessions have finished.
