The March issue of In Touch shares findings from the third year of trials focused on controlling fungal diseases in processed peas and dwarf beans, a new video case study discusses the value gained from the demonstration farm project at Pukekohe, and we provide an update of resources and reports being produced in relation to resistance management.
We reflect on knowledge shared at the inaugural New Zealand biologicals symposium, and the opportunity to fast track lessons around their adoption and integration, and we have details of upcoming field days focusing on grower experiences of implementing biodiversity planting in vegetable crops and summerfruit orchards.
In addition, grower events being hosted in March and April by the Foundation for Arable Research will share results from ALT trials for control of Ascochyta blight in pea crops.
