Teagasc in association with the Fertiliser Association of Ireland will host a free workshop on the Precise Application of Fertilisers at Teagasc, Moorepark Research Centre, Fermoy, Co. Cork on Wednesday 27th February from 2pm – 5pm. Although it is a free event, pre-registration is essential as places are limited.  This event carries 25 IASIS Points.
The workshop will be of particular interest to field advisors and agri-contractors. There will be presentations on fertiliser planning for contractors and fertiliser spreader technology.
