The BCGA Demonstration Day is shaping up to be a great event again this year. The Demo Day on 6th October will be held at Fairygreen Farm, Kinrossie, Perth, PH2 6JA and is kindly being hosted by Tompsett Growers.
The event will showcase existing and emerging carrot varieties from Seminis, BASF, Hazera, HM Clause, Elsoms/ Bejo and Agriseeds.
Martin Strickson from Elsoms commented: “Elsoms are delighted to demonstrate their extensive range of varieties bred by Bejo Zaden. Their market leading range include the most comprehensive, reliable, versatile and diverse carrot varieties available to producers in the UK.”
The demonstrations of the latest varieties will be available for the attendees to view. Delegates can see the ongoing trials and quiz those who have been running the trials. There will also be a variety taste test, with a winner named at the end of the day.
Several agronomy plots from Bayer and Microbial are also sited at the field and will be available for delegates to see.
