The specialist one-day event at Niab’s cutting-edge East Malling Research Station in Kent on 9 July gives fruit growers and processors the chance to explore the latest innovations and science-based advice.
Crop production business Hutchinsons will have its horticulture and specialist support teams on-hand to offer the latest thinking around how to maximise soil health and yields in the soft fruit and vineyard sectors.
“The event provides an ideal opportunity to learn more about the specialist environmental, soils, and digital services teams that support our agronomists as the demands on producers increase from many angles,” says Hutchinsons director Mike Hutchinson.
“We have also expanded these teams, reflecting growers’ needs to better understand soils, maximise production, and meet tighter environmental requirements, or tap into new schemes.”
Phil Carpenter, Hutchinsons’ regional director in horticulture, adds: “Growers are challenged by increasing labour costs, ongoing changes to the portfolio of products they have available, and the need to ensure everything is documented and recorded. Compliance audits are an annual feature of growers’ calendars, with the associated workload. Visiting Fruit Focus and talking to our teams about easy data capture and retrieval for supporting a protocol audit, or for analysis, could be time well spent.”
