What does IPM mean to you and how it can help your business? Three different panelists discuss the importance of IPM in the broader context of what it means for the future of modern agriculture. This session will explore in depth the importance of IPM to the whole industry and how showcasing what is already happening on-farm will demonstrate to regulators and NGO’s how farmers are going beyond the “simple-fix” approach to weed control by using a wide range of IPM practices to protect their incomes and also the chemistry they need to succeed. It is also an opportunity to share insights from BASF experts about the importance of gaining a common industry understanding of what IPM means and what we can all do together to protect the future of the farming toolbox.

This second panel discussion will explore the challenges the industry faces in launching and protecting chemistry, with a focus on arable weed control products.
It will look at the reliance on chemical controls, what needs to change and how this can be managed in the future, to ensure that new products have longevity and provide the best control possible for farmers, alongside cultural controls.
In this session the company will announce the launch of its #IPMWeedControl campaign, that will encourage growers and agronomists to take a look at their current IPM activities and encourage them to share their own stories and experiences.
