Topic: CROP WALKING IN FIELD VEGETABLES - identification of pests and problems

Time: 10:15am - 3:30pm
Venue: Cae Melwr Farm, Llanrwst, LL26 0SD

Crop walking is one of the most important jobs in vegetable production. Regular walking of the crop means problems are quickly identified and can be appropriately tackled.

Today’s crop walk will be lead by Chris reed of ADAS and Emyr Hughes of Cae Melwr. We will be looking at problems caused by pests and diseases, as well as nutrient disorders and weeds.

Our host, Cae Melwr Farm, Llanrwst, began growing field scale vegetables in 2007. The farm now produces over 30 varieties of seasonal vegetables all year round including potatoes, leeks, carrots, soft fruit, squashes and sweetcorn.
