Held on Thursday, 29th September 2022

The SCEPTREplus programme researched sustainable plant protection products for use in horticulture. Its aim was 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 ended on 31st March 2022.

This event celebrated and summarised the output of a very successful 5-year programme by highlighting the new crop protection solutions identified by the project across a range of ornamental crops.
