Real Results Roadshow 2020
Featuring Revystar® XE.
Our recent agronomy-focused roadshow joined force with the farming community to deliver local stories and advice to help you grow your crops, improve your soil and debate what the new agricultural policies may mean in practice.
The eight events which ran across the UK from late January until early March 2020, focused on farmer dominated business insights and the launch of our new cereal fungicide Revystar® XE.
Each event was co-hosted by a local farmer who is part of the BASF Real Results Circle and in 2019 trialled Revystar® XE on their own farm, using their own machinery.
Co-hosted by the BASF local Agronomy Manager, all events were joined by soil expert Professor Jenni Dungait and an ADAS cereal disease researcher and information from their presentations can be found below.
We have produced a blog from each event summarising the key messages shared by the farmers, their reflection on the challenging season and plans for spring – you can find a link to each one below.
We would like to thank all our hosts, speakers and the farmers who joined us. We are passionate and dedicated to building our farmer community, delivering technical advice, innovation and networking whilst offering you direct access to our team, so we can ensure we continue to deliver solutions that you want and need.
