The August edition of In Touch includes knowledge shared at the Horticulture Conference, results from biofungicide trials to control brown rot in peaches, and an update from our regulatory pathway project to improve the registration process for biological crop protection tools. We preview this season’s residue and efficacy trials to address cross-sector priorities and we share more spray workshop dates.
In project updates, a comparison of squash growing systems will be shared with growers this season, demonstrating the impact of soilborne disease management practices, and we publish a new crop case study detailing the IPM approach, combined with on-farm biodiversity, used to produce a broccoli crop with reduced chemical inputs.
