UKCPVS stakeholder event 2025
The 2025 UK Cereal Pathogen Virulence Survey (UKCPVS) stakeholder meeting took place in Cambridgeshire at NIAB.
About the event
The UKCPVS project has monitored cereal rusts and mildews in the UK for over 50 years, detecting and warning industry and growers of new races of disease emerging on resistant varieties.
The event is targeted primarily at breeders, crop scientists and technical agronomists, but it is highly relevant to all those involved in crop production.
