Biological seed treatments a first for The Arable Event
6th June 2023
It’s an exciting year for The Arable Event, with the debut of biological seed treatments. A key date for the diary, The Arable Event takes place on the 7th June and is an important event for providing valuable information to Arable farmers for the upcoming harvest and drilling season.
Treated and untreated trial plots will be on display at the free one-day event, to demonstrate to farmers the difference that biological seed treatments can make to crop success.
Danny Richardson, combinable seed product specialist at Wynnstay Group plc, said: “One of the best features of the Arable Event is that the demonstration plots receive the same farm programme as everything else at Bradford Estates, making them realistic on-farm representations of how varieties perform in this region.
“This is a valuable indicator when making your autumn cropping decisions.”
Through the demonstration site visitors will be able to explore a number of varieties, including winter wheat, barley, and oats, alongside hybrid rye, triticale and oil seed rape.
“All of them have given Wynnstay great insights through the growing window on how the varieties perform, which we are looking forward to sharing with you on the day.
The treated and untreated plots will show farmers some important differences, highlight the biological seed treatments available this autumn and demonstrate how they can improve nitrogen use efficiency and increase yield.
The Arable Event is organised by Wynnstay and Grain Link, with invaluable support from the Bradford Estates, and runs from 9am to 5pm on the 7th June 2023 at Woodlands Farm, part of Bradford Estates in Weston-under-Lizard on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border. The show also offers attendees the opportunity to collect BASIS and NroSO points.
Registration for FREE Fast Track tickets is open now and includes a free prize draw. Every guest will receive a goodie bag, refreshments and programme.
