Satte igång PotatoEurope 2021 construction demo fields

This week, a start was made in Lelystad on the development of the potato demo fields for PotatoEurope 2021

Potatismässan ger besökarna en inblick i framtiden för potatissektorn i år i början av september. Dessutom kommer fjorton högkvalitativa demonstrationsfält att ge en mängd information om aktuella ämnen.

Now that the potato growing season is about to start with the start of spring in the Netherlands, spring work is in full swing in Lelystad. Fourteen potato demo fields will be installed in the heart of the PotatoEurope exhibition grounds. Various leading companies in the sector will present products that have already existed for some time at this prominent location during the fair and will introduce innovations that can make a (sustainable) contribution before, during and after cultivation.

Demofälten konstrueras under ett vakande öga av koordinator och chef för forskningssektionen Pierre Bakker från Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Open Crops i Lelystad.
“We are now putting out fourteen different demo fields for PotatoEurope 2021 under good field conditions. This will contribute to presentations that will give visitors an interesting insight into developments in the sector in September,” says Bakker.

Aktuella teman
Tolkningen av de olika potatisdemonstrationerna tar snabbt form. Fokus ligger på aktuella teman och frågor inom potatisodling. BASF Nederland BV, Bayer, Belchim, Certis Europe, FMC, Kreglinger Europe NV och UPL visar till exempel den senaste utvecklingen inom växtskydd. Dessutom visar utsädespotatishandelshus Agrico, HZPC, Schaap Holland and STET participate in variety demonstration fields, with a focus on sustainable potato varieties, among other things. At the Nufarm demo field, this developer and producer of crop protection solutions will show visitors one of their novelties: electric
haulm dödande.

Vandinter Semo, avelsföretag för drag- och fånggrödor som faller under rubriken gröngödsel, kommer att fokusera på nematodresistent gröngödsel i sitt eget demofält. I
the demo field of Horizon Flevoland, a regional development company and a PotatoEurope partner, the focus will finally be on Agriculture: Multiple Flavors / Robust Potato Varieties.

"Vad är nu, vad är nytt och vad är det Framtida"
Thanks to the varied occupation of the demo fields, visitors can immediately see in practice what they can do in their day-to-day operations with the varieties, techniques and innovations presented. The products and innovations of the companies represented in the demo fields not only provide visitors with tools to renew their current business operations where necessary, but also provide information about a sustainable future for the potato chain. According to the organization, this makes them perfectly in line with the PotatoEurope 2021 exhibition theme, “What’s Now, What’s New and What’s the Future”, with which the organization wants to give visitors insight into developments in the potato chain and the future of the sector.

PotatoEurope is an international event exclusively dedicated to the entire potato chain. The event takes place every year in one of the fair’s four partner countries: Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The organization expects to welcome more than 275 exhibitors from all over the world and more than 16,000 visitors on September 1 and 2, 2021.
