I'm thrilled to share that our first research article has been published in the Australian Berry Journal (Edition 21, pages 65 -70) !🍓 The study, titled "Application of Foliar Nutrients after Trimming Strawberry Plants Accelerates Yield Recovery," was conducted in collaboration with VSICA Research and La Trobe University. Our research highlights the benefits of using chelated foliar nutrients, such as High K, to improve strawberry plant recovery, enhance yields, and reduce diseases after trimming. A special thank you to Dr. Scott Mattner for his continuous support, dedication, and guidance throughout the research process. I’m proud to be part of this industry-driven research and excited to contribute to sustainable practices in berry farming. #Agriculture #BerryFarming #StrawberryResearch #SustainableFarming #IndustryInnovation #PlantHealth #FirstPublication
