How will knowing more about carbohydrate stores help you, to help them?
How will measuring plant carbohydrates help you on farm?
Growers are invited to join Growcom and precision-ag farming experts from Agri Technovation this March.
At this practical workshop you will explore the multiple benefits of tools like carbohydrate sampling to improve nutrient budgeting and management practices.
Presenters will cover:
