National Apple, Pear and Cherry Conference, Adelaide
TIA's Perennial Horticulture Centre focuses its attention on orchard management, integrated disease management, crop physiology, spray application technology, natural plant extracts and specialty mushrooms. The expertise of the scientists in this program includes horticulture, plant physiology, plant pathology, mycology and micropropagation.
Tasmania’s cool temperate climate makes it ideal for production of a wide range of perennial horticulture crops including pome and stone fruits, berry and nut crops, wine grapes and a range of extractive crops (hops, pyrethrum and essential oils). Many of these crops and crop products are highly valuable exports established in major global markets.
TIA’s research, development and extension is assisting the maintenance and expansion of these industries through programs examining pest and disease management, sustainable production systems and development of new crops and crop products.
