What next for biocontrol?

This, our fourth Arable Horizons talk took place on 30 May 2017 at the University of Lincoln and looked at the research projects and individuals that are working to make biological control a more effective, viable tool for UK farmers.

As a country, the UK has been slow to uptake biocontrol as an effective disease and pest control method. In this lecture we will also look at what other countries are doing around the topic of biocontrol, the progress they are making, and what this work could mean for UK agriculture.

In attendance were farmers, agronomists, researchers and scientists from across UK agriculture to listen to the talk presented by our speaker, Professor Simon Leather. Read the full report from the event.
