Update on bean seed fly
Monday, 19th February, 4pm to 5pm (UK time) - in Microsoft Teams.
The management of bean seed fly has been causing considerable concern for growers over the last few years. The main reason for the concern is the loss, or imminent loss, of insecticidal seed treatments, since to date this method of applying insecticides has been the most effective. Several organisations have worked on the problem and there will be summaries of the work, particularly the PhD project undertaken by Becca McGowan at Warwick University with funding from AHDB, PGRO and the University - which was completed in December 2023. Becky Howard from PGRO and Simon Jackson from Syngenta UK will also provide input to the session.
To attend please register below and a Teams link will be forwarded prior to the event.
BASIS points will be applied for.
