Each December, AHDB hosts the Agronomists’ Conference. In 2020, the conference was held online (due to coronavirus restrictions) over several days – with elements called ‘Agronomy Week’ or ‘Agronomists’ Induction’.

Is there an alternative approach to weed control? How can we combine sustainable use of herbicides with cultural controls to maximise efficacy? These are just two of the questions we will be trying to answer during this live -stream session. Join us to discuss how to design farming systems that are resistant to outbreaks of problematic weeds but capable of fostering a diverse weed community to support ecosystem services. We will also look at managing resistance in weed management, using insights gained from AHDB -funded research projects and Strategic Cereal Farm trials.

BASIS/NROSO points will not be available to claim for this session after 18 December 2020.
