Researchers at Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries have been at the forefront of developing protected cropping systems for specialty melons in Australia. 🍈 👏

Growers in the Australian tropics and subtropics will benefit from protected cropping technologies that mitigate risks associated with climate variability and assist with accessing new markets.

The team has produced a video to show how innovative methods can produce high-quality melons year-round, an opportunity for niche domestic and overseas markets where fruits attract high prices.

The video displays the journey from crop management to marketing and will increase awareness in current and new growers using protected cropping.
