that an exhibition that features the state’s scientific and technological
innovations (Science for the Future: Victorian Innovations: making the world of
difference) is touring regional centres including Shepparton Science and
Technology Centre (until 31 March), Bendigo Discovery Centre (April 1 –
June 12) and Mildura Visitor and Information Centre (June 7 – July 17). Specific
mention in the article is made of seminars relevant to VCE studies, including Ag
and Hort and the work of scientists at the DPI who have identified eight
ozone-friendly alternative sprays for horticulturalists to continue growing
bumper crops without harming the environment.</span></font></p>
