TEAGASC is to hold a series of 18 Spring Cereal Farm Walks in April to assist farmers in the management of spring and winter cereal crops.

Speaking at the announcement of these walks Jim O’Mahony, Teagasc tillage programme manager, said that farmers attending the events would meet Teagasc experts to get advice on their spring management programme.

He said that topics covered would include disease control in spring and winter cereals, weed control in cereals, beet and potatoes and recommendations on fertiliser and trace elements for all crops.
