Crop science in the spotlight as new trials site hosts open day
Crop trials showcasing wheat varieties and the latest disease control strategies will be shown to farmers at an open day in west Norfolk.
The Bayer Field Day in Walpole on July 3 takes place at the company's new Norfolk demonstration site, inviting farmers, agronomists and industry stakeholders to "explore the latest advancements in crop science and sustainable farming practices".
Trial plots will compare wheat varieties from the Recommended List (RL) and RL candidates, giving the opportunity to assess how they perform under real-world conditions.
Meanwhile, fungicide trials will highlight both current and future chemistry aimed at tackling yield-damaging infections like septoria, yellow rust, and brown rust.
Another key topic is grass-weed control, discussing strategies for slowing the progress of resistance, while optimising efficacy.
In addition to the demonstrations, there will be static displays and a chance to speak to Bayer experts.
The event takes place from 10am on July 3 at Pear Tree Farm, Mill Road, Walpole, near King's Lynn, PE14 7QJ. The last tour will be at 3pm. Food and refreshments will be available.
