Potato growers and agronomists invited to join free webinar

This free 60-minute online event, which will run from 12 noon on 16^th February, is designed to showcase the new digital tools impacting pesticide usage across the potato production sector. It will be of interest to UK potato growers, agronomists and anyone involved or with an interest in the potato growing sector.

It includes sessions on the risk of disease for the UK potato industry in 2021, how government funding is supporting UK potato growers and how CHAP’s CropMonitor Pro decision support tool can help growers streamline pesticide costs next year.

This will be followed by Chris Delf, CHAP’s Business Development Manager and our in-house agronomy expert, who will showcase CropMonitor Pro, a field-level enhancement to DEFRA’s Crop Monitor.
