PGRO Pulse Crop Bulletin

'PULSE CROPS FOR SUSTAINABLE ROTATIONS' IS THE TOPICAL THEME OF 2012 PGRO / SYNGENTA ROADSHOWS

PGRO are holding a series of roadshows in January and February in partnership with Syngenta, starting in York on Tuesday 24th January and ending in Bury St Edmunds on Wednesday 1st February.

As well as providing the latest agronomy advice for growers to get the best from their pulse crops, the meetings also are a unique opportunity to quiz the experts from PGRO and Syngenta on how to optimise output and profitability. This year Kevin Stickney from Premier Nutrition will also discuss future feed opportunities for pulse crops in the light of recent feed research.
