What an incredible week celebrating fresh vegetables, connecting with the Perth community and encouraging everyone to take the Plus One Serve challenge and add just one more serve of veg to their day.

A huge thank you to the Royal Agricultural Society of WA for hosting such a fantastic event, and to Perth Markets for donating to our fresh vegetable display and helping us showcase the amazing produce grown by WA vegetable growers.

A special shoutout to Alex Crisp for rising to the Plus One Serve challenge, and of course to the Plus One Serve team for bringing so much energy and enthusiasm throughout the Show.

And we couldn’t wrap up without a nod to our fellow horticulture friends at Pomewest, Sweeter Banana, WA Potatoes and Buy West Eat Best, it was great seeing all our Hort friends at the Show!

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who stopped by, had a chat, shared their favourite veggies and made their pledge.

Perth, you’ve certainly shown us you’re ready to Plus One Serve!

Perth, you’ve taken the pledge!

As we head into the final days of the Perth Royal Show, we’ve been blown away by the response from the Perth community to the Plus One Serve pledge to eat more veg!

We’ve had some familiar faces stop by and take the pledge, including Tony Galati from Spudshed, Lachlan Hunter MLA, WA Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Food, the Hon Darren Chester MP the Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and Kirrilee Warr MLA, Member for Geraldton.

We’ve also welcomed our ABC Radio Hosts, the West Coast Eagles and Perth Scorchers, while Rick & Sue from Channel 7 were challenged by Justine from Plus One Serve to find their own way to add a little more veg to their day.

But the best part has been chatting with the hundreds of people who have stopped by, mums and dads, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, and big kids and little kids all sharing their favourite vegetables and thinking about one simple question:

How can you add just one more serve of veg to your day?

It’s been an amazing week, and the good news is we’re not finished yet! We’ve still got a few more days to chat, pledge and celebrate veggies with the Perth community.

If you’re heading to the Royal Show, come and see us and make your pledge!

Want to find out more about recent research on FAW populations in Asia and get an update on FAW resistance?

Managing fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) well means understanding where populations come from, how they move, and how quickly they're adapting to the insecticides and Bt traits farmers rely on. We need to keep all the solutions in our FAW response toolbox effective against this serious pest. Join us to find out more in our upcoming webinar:

Three days into the Perth Royal Show and it’s been busy, colourful and so much fun!

We’ve loved seeing so many people stop by and make their pledge to eat more veg. 🥦🥬🌽

What’s happening below ground could be showing up at harvest.

Root-knot nematodes can have a major impact on crop quality, root development and marketable yield.

Catulia® is FMC’s emerging biological approach to helping growers stay ahead of nematode pressure from the ground up. Say goodbye to ugly.

What a week it was in Western Australia, as Croplands demo'd the Kilter AX-1 for the very first time in the state.

Our two demos were in Gingin and Wattleup where we showcased the very best in autonomous vegetable cropping technology.

Thank you very much to vegetables WA and to our hosting farms, where great interest and engagement was shown in the AX-1.

The Kilter will remain in WA for a limited time only - so if you're interested in another demo, contact us quickly.

Otherwise, learn more and enquire about your own demo by visiting the Croplands website and searching for 'Kilter'.

vegetablesWA is at the Perth Royal Show!

The Perth Royal Show kicks off today and vegetablesWA is proud to be collaborating on Plus One Serve, helping put Australian vegetables, and the growers behind them, front and centre.

The goal is simple: one extra serve of vegetables per person, per day, by 2030.

For vegetablesWA, it’s about more than healthy eating. More veg on Aussie plates means greater demand for our growers and a stronger, more sustainable vegetable industry.

Heading to the Show?

Keep an eye out for vegetablesWA and Plus One Serve and help us spread the word.

That’s a wrap on our Kilter AX1 demonstrations in WA!

A huge thank you to the Croplands Equipment team for making the trip west and giving WA growers the opportunity to see the Kilter AX1 in action.

Thanks also to all the growers and industry members who joined us in Gingin and Wattleup, it was great to see so much interest in the technology and plenty of questions out in the field.

Missed the demos but want to see it still? The Kilter AX1 is staying in WA for another month!

If you’d like to learn more or connect with the Croplands Kilter team while the machine is here, reach out to vegetablesWA and we’ll happily put you in touch.
