Growing oilseed rape with the Sigma Team

Are you looking for debate and new ideas on how to grow oilseed rape? Syngenta Seeds Sigma Team space may provide the solution, giving you the opportunity to discuss your views and growing methods with other like-minded OSR growers.

The Sigma Team brings together a group of farmers at key times across the growing season to discuss their own experiences with a group of technical specialists in plant breeding, agronomy, plant pathology, weed control, and crop nutrition. The aim is to create debate and challenge the experts in order to form ideas on OSR issues that can be used practically by osr growers across the UK.

Look out for coverage in Farmers Weekly and if you want to discuss any points raised by the Sigma Team or simply want to let us know the topics that you would like to see covered by the Sigma Team in the future, please log onto www.fwi.co.uk/forums (the Sigma Team forum can be found in the Specialist Forums section).
