Agronomy Week 2020
Agronomy Week will run from Monday 30 November to Friday 4 December. It will comprise a series of webinars aimed at agronomists on important issues in contemporary agronomy.
Ordinarily, AHDB hosts the Agronomists’ Conference in December. This annual event is a two-day conference for agronomists, covering the cereals and oilseeds and potatoes industries. Due to ongoing restrictions following the coronavirus pandemic, we have taken the decision to cancel major events up until the end of 2020.
As a result, this years' conference will be entirely online and free to attend. To help delegates get the most out of this new format we have expanded the event into a week-long programme of digital events called 'Agronomy Week'. Delegates can register for a series of webinars and interactive discussion sessions covering important issues on contemporary agronomy.
Agronomy Week will showcase the latest research and provide agronomists with practical management strategies to use across the rotation.
