2015 Scholar Wade Mann "IPM Strategies for Hydroponic Production of Berry Crops"

Wade Mann, from Lake Haven in New South Wales, received a 2015 Nuffield Scholarship supported by Nuffield Australia. He researched Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies for greenhouse hydroponic production of berry crops. Wade is managing director of Roses 2 Go, a commercial greenhouse hydroponic rose cut-flower production facility he runs with his wife Nicola. Up until this year, their mix of Hybrid-T and Intermediate roses returned an annual yield of over a million stems. They recently diversified half their total greenhouse area to the commercial production of hydroponic blueberries, with a small-scale trial of hydroponic raspberries and strawberries. With the recent push into berries, Wade used his scholarship to investigate how to overcome a lack of chemical options to control pests in the berry crops. To research the topic, Wade visited Canada, USA, the Netherlands, China and the UK.
