Visitors on the field tours at Cereals in Practice 2010
Uniquely, Cereals in Practice brings variety trials and research together in one place and is aimed at farmers, agronomists, industry and scientists working with cereals. The first event, held in 2009, attracted more than 200 visitors.
Cereals in Practice is a result of the combination of SCRI’s previous cereals event, Cereal Solutions, with the SAC Angus/Perthshire Agronomy Centre wheat and barley variety and management trials. Additional funding is provided by the Scottish Society for Crop Research and HGCA.
With arable farmers coming under pressures from both home and abroad it is important the industry takes advantage of all the new technologies to remain competitive. Cereals in Practice aims to be the premier knowledge transfer event in the North of the UK combining scientific innovation with practical take home messages.
