Webinar - Thursday, 14th April 2022, 4pm - 6pm
The SCEPTREplus programme researches sustainable plant protection products for use in horticulture. Its aim is to deliver applied research on high priority disease, pest and weed problems in fresh produce and ornamental crops in order to support the approval of products and develop integrated pest management programmes. The SCEPTREplus programme itself ends on 31st March 2022.
This event will celebrate and summarise the output of a very successful 5-year programme by highlighting the new crop protection solutions identified by the project across a range of field vegetable crops.
