Better Frost Decisions - June 2023

05/26/23 • 28 min

Welcome to the Better Frost Decisions Podcast, where we explore innovative strategies and expert insights to help you make informed decisions in the cropping season. In this limited series, our engaging conversations with industry leaders bring you the latest frost research and practical solutions for managing risk and optimizing yield.

In this episode, we're thrilled to chat with Peter Hayman, Principal Scientist for Climate Applications at SARDI, about the importance of decision-making and addressing the challenges of El Nino.

We also check in with Max Bloomfield, Research Manager at FAR Australia, for an inside look at manipulating flowering time with agronomic practices and CSIRO's Bonnie Flohr to find out more about optimal flowering time.

As we navigate the complexities of frost and its impact on our communities, we know firsthand the frustration and disappointment it can bring. Join us on this journey to discover what's new in frost research, hear from those who are dealing with it firsthand, and learn how we can make better decisions to support growers in the Southern region. It's time to catch up with Peter Hayman.
