IN BRIEF
IN BRIEF
• ALL BPC levy-payers should have you received their free copy of the BPC Store Managers Guide? If not, call the BPC (01865-782222 or e-mail publications@potato.org.uk). The guide is also available to non-levy payers, price £80.
• IF you store potatoes, keep May 1 free for the Potato Storage Event at Sutton Bridge Experimental Unit, says the BPC. A series of seminars and agronomy related to storage issues will run alongside stands from many equipment companies. Entry is free to levy payers or £10 to non-payers.
• WINTER beans have averaged a 0.6t/ha yield response to manganese applications at flowering for the past two years, says ProCam senior agronomist Nick Myers. "For an input cost of £3/ha that is something that needs to be borne in mind. We have had similar responses with spring beans." *
