🚜Perfecting Potatoes Together is heading out on the road meeting the people driving innovation across the potato sector.
With blight fungicide programmes now underway, we caught up with:
👨🌾 Grower Dave Bell
🔬 @JamesHuttonInst plant pathologist David Cooke
🌱 BASF agronomy specialist Scott Milne
From climate change to this season’s blight risk, hear their take on the challenges facing today’s potato crops - and how the industry is staying one step ahead.

With many questions around resistance management and sustainable fungicide programmes, we caught up with BASF’s Steve Dennis for a quick update on Revysol®.
"It’s more important than ever to protect the chemistry that is available, applying it at the correct timing and at an appropriate dose is crucial." 🌱

🌱 Last week we brought the farm into the classroom, exploring links between food, farming and science. From seeds to crops, and thinking like farmers about weather and timing, children saw how much goes into our food.
Blackgrass is estimated to cost UK growers £400m per year.
@Rothamsted are looking for growers and agronomists to complete an anonymous survey on their experiences with blackgrass management - good and bad!

@dikesmarshfarm@bentd76@BASFcropUK Thanks Richard, I’ll ask @planetclune to get in contact tomorrow.
There’s a couple of comments in our guide (pg 4) advising it’s due to urea absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. Please note Limus is absorbed by the granules so won’t affect efficacy.

Cornwall grower, Mike Hambly’s @ADASGroup Agronomics trial showed an impressive result from #RevyPro in #barley last year.
Find out more about his trial and the ‘quantum leap’ in formulation technology behind RevyPro ⬇️
Grower Mike Hambly saw a 0.56t/ha yield uplift in barley with RevyPro® in tramline trials on his Cornwall farm. Find out why he plans to use it again this season in this @FarmersWeekly feature https://t.co/lUeMQjqiQr🌾⬇️
Hear from Russell Davison, COFCO’s Sales Manager, on why urease inhibitors should be a non-negotiable part of your fertiliser plan and how Limus® delivers a yield uplift too good to miss. 💪🌱
