Alltech Crop Science will host a crop field and research seminar on June 9, 2015 at their European headquarters in Dunboyne, Ireland. The seminar will provide interested parties with an opportunity to increase their knowledge on crop production practices, allowing them to see firsthand the research that Alltech is carrying out around the world. Industry experts will also discuss a vision for arable crop production and demonstrate how precision agriculture technologies can increase efficiency on the farm.
Cereal Production Expert and University College Dublin lecturer, Tom McCabe, Alltech Crop Science Agronomist, Tim Sheil, and Research Director at Alltech, Professor Maurice Boland will address attendees on the recent Alltech Crop Science trails.
The seminar will be addressed by Robert Walker, global general manager, Alltech Crop Science, on the Farms of Excellence Programme in the United States. This programme identifies high yielding crop farms which are carrying out extensive research trials with Alltech Crop Science. Renowned cereal production expert and University College Dublin lecturer, Tom McCabe will highlight the role of research on improving crop yield, and Mark Poveda, Korec Group, will provide insights on precision technology and carry out a live drone demonstration on the European trials located in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland.
“The Alltech Crop Science research programme is built on improving productivity in the soil and the plant itself,” said Walker. “We must focus on nutrient efficiency and end product quality as market demand rises, all while identifying the environmental challenges. The Alltech Crop Science team are eager to identify the challenges of the future, and our ongoing research and trials provide us with a better understanding of the needs and wants of today’s crop.”
