PGRO & Syngenta Pulse Resilience Roadshow 2023
The Roadshow 2023 presentations give an essential insight into the latest tools to help you get the best from every crop.
Listen to leading pulse agronomy specialists is these Resilience Roadshow recordings. We hope you enjoy!
Dr Chris Judge
PGRO Senior Technical Manager
Huge annual pea and bean variety trials show how enhanced genetics have improved yields year-on-year. Find out how to interpret the Descriptive Lists and identify the latest varieties to fit your farm.
Simon Jackson
Syngenta Technical Manager
Simon identifies how to optimise application techniques in pulse crops with 3D ninety nozzle technology, along with the new easy connect closed transfer system for operator and environmental protection. With changing climatic conditions new agronomy techniques such as Quantis biostimulant for heat stress relief will become ever more important to add resilience to crop performance.
Aimee Fowkes
FERA Senior Plant Virologist
Aimee details the results of extensive virus testing in pulse crops, including implications of the first findings of turnip virus yellows (TuYV), transmitted by aphids into peas. More widely associated with losses in OSR - which can reach 70% yield loss - the disease may be having a hidden cost in pulses.
Leah Howells
PGRO Data Scientist
Leah updates on developments with crop maturity forecasting tools to better predict vining pea harvesting dates, along with the novel use of multi-spectral earth observation data in the detection of growth stages in peas.
Dr Becky Howard
PGRO R&D Manager
Becky advises on the latest integrated approaches to insect pests in bean and pea crops, including monitoring, thresholds and utilising new agronomy techniques to protect crops and optimise protection programmes.
Tools & Tactics
Pulse advice to add resilience to crop performance
The benefits of pulses have put the crops back on the agenda for more arable growers looking to build greater resilience into their farming systems this season.
Pulse crops play a valuable role in any rotation, including increased fertility, improved soil structure and a good fit with cereal cropping - along with a potential boost to whole farm margins.
Advanced agronomy techniques have consistently improved the reliability and returns from all pulse crops.
The PGRO & Syngenta Pulse Resilience Roadshows 2023 have given an essential insight into latest tools and tactics to get the best from every crop.
