Tours of some of its test plots at the Ridgetown Campus of the University of Guelph continue today.
Spokesman Albert Tenuta says it is the second of two Diagnostic Crop days that is designed to keep crop advisers up to date on what is happening in the fields.
"We've got a lot of industry people, crop advisers, seed, chemical, other input staff and by training them there's a multiplier effect, they can pass that information along to hundreds and thousands of others," he says. "There are a lot of symptoms on those plants that look very much like disease but are not a disease, it's very important to distinguish in the field." More than 400 agriculture industry representatives are involved in the training at the campus.
