21. Getreide-Tagung in Detmold, with the special item “Fusarien-Toxine in Weizen” 12-13.03.03.

On the 13 and 15.11.02 the FUCOMYR project was presented at meetings with agricultural advisors. A field day was held for agricultural advisors on the 13.06.03 where the FUCOMYR project was presented.

Partner SURL discussed the results with 5 different wheat breeders (all members of Saaten-Union GmbH and DSV, incorporated in the CA). In parallel SURL discussed the project, the results achieved so far and the outlook for the next year with many visitors (e.g. we were visited by the German Plant Breeders Association in combination with the president and different responsible employees of the Bundessortenamt, which reports to the ministry Federal Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture.

Presentation to the National Farmers Union representatives for organic farming. John Innes Centre March 2nd 2003.
