Spray Calibration Workshop
Fruit Growers Victoria hosted a successful Spray Calibration Workshop on Thursday 29 June at the FGV offices, drawing strong attendance from local growers keen to sharpen their spray application skills.
The session was led by Don Thorpe, a respected horticulturist and spraying specialist with decades of industry experience. Don provided a hands-on, practical look at key topics including:
- Infield Spray Application Checks
- Spray Calibration Techniques
- Equipment and Controller Advice
Participants appreciated Don’s clear explanations and practical tips, especially in navigating common calibration issues and understanding how to optimise sprayer performance for efficiency and effectiveness in the orchard.
The workshop also offered a great opportunity for growers to connect, ask questions, and share experiences - something that’s always valued in our grower community.
FGV thanks Don Thorpe for his engaging presentation and all attendees for making the session a valuable learning and networking opportunity. Keep an eye out for future workshops aimed at supporting best practice and innovation across the horticulture sector.
