Forward-thinking farmers and agronomists
will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of novel science and
innovative technology when the CropTec show returns to Peterborough at the end
of November.
CropTec is now recognised as one of the
key diary dates in the arable calendar, gaining a reputation as the UK’s
leading knowledge exchange event in the sector.
Farmers and their advisers are attracted
by CropTec’s unique informal atmosphere that creates the ideal forum to
exchange ideas and experiences, according to Elisabeth Mork-Eidem, group head
of events at Briefing Media, which
organises the CropTec show.
“Content and knowledge
exchange will remain the focus of CropTec. We want to build on being the show
where visitors come armed with questions and leave with useful practical advice
on how to become better at what they do,” she said.
“We would urge all those farmers and
agronomists who are looking to the future to come to Peterborough in November
to discuss adaptation of new technology, cutting edge agronomy and best
business practices.
“They can get that advice
from networking with like-minded industry peers, from the well researched, topical
seminars and from visiting the exhibition hall and having the right
conversations with relevant companies who have brought their best technical
staff.”
CropTec’s key features include the trade
stand exhibition which features a wide range of innovative products and
thinking.
The popular seminar programme returns,
featuring over a dozen leading speakers covering the four key technical areas
of crop breeding, crop establishment, crop nutrition and crop protection.
Seminar content is based on feedback and extensive research with farmers and
agronomists to ensure it is both relevant and timely.
Four knowledge hubs, which consist of
short, sharp presentations delivering key-take away messages, will also feature
at CropTec 2017. The popular black-grass hub returns, and three new hubs
covering oilseed rape quality and weed management, biostimulants, and data &
analytics also feature.
CropTec also includes a sprayer demo
area where visitors can drive some of the most advanced sprayers in the market.
New for 2017 alongside the hubs is a
Farm Innovation Zone, where visitors can speak to a range of leading agritech
innovators.
Adama Agricultural Solutions

practical and business issues, CropTec provides the perfect opportunity for
