Managing cereal and canola foliar diseases and fungicide resistance workshop (Clare)

Workshop facilitator John Cameron said “Coupling the fire power of Nick Poole, Steve Marcroft, Kylie Ireland and SARDI pathologists Hugh Wallwork & Tara Garrard with the field expertise of up to 20 leading agronomists, the discussion will be lively and targeted on issues of regional importance and how this is reflected in advice to growers.  It’s a great mix, and all who attend – no matter how experienced, will pick up new and valued understanding.”
