Healthy vines training to benefit the vineyard operations team

Kristy Bartrop is a Riverina viticulture technical manager responsible for thousands of hectares of vineyards. She focuses on plant health, organising inputs into the vineyards and managing water accounts and irrigation.

Over two interactive days, Kristy road-tested the AgSkilled 2.0 Grapevine Integrated Pest and Disease Management course for her vineyard operations team.

By investing in training for her team, Kristy wants them to have the skills and confidence to move into higher and more secure roles in the future. In addition, by upskilling her workforce, Kristy anticipates significant economic and environmental benefits for the business through more targeted management strategies.
