Like the recent successful Agribusiness Crop Updates and State Grower Crop Update held in Perth last week, the regional events are supported by Agriculture Western Australia and the Grains Research and Development Corporation. The seminars will be held in 11 centres throughout the agricultural region, from Geraldton in the north to Esperance in the south. Crop Updates organising committee chairperson Nicole Kerr said the seminars would feature local and visiting experts, who will provide details of the latest trial research and information regarding local issues. Ms Kerr said the events would not duplicate the information at the State Grower Update, rather they would address issues pertinent to each district according to each district. Growers will be able to learn about local issues, like risk of rust risk in the eastern wheatbelt, herbicide resistance in the Great Southern or managing diamondback moth in canola in the Northern Agricultural Region.
