UKCPVS Stakeholder Event - 12 Jan 26

The UKCPVS project has monitored cereal pathogens in the UK for nearly 60 years, detecting and warning industry and growers of new races of disease emerging on resistant varieties.

The event is targeted primarily at breeders, crop scientists and technical agronomists, but it is highly relevant to all those involved in crop production.
