Second Stakeholder Forum - "Traits of interest"

10 November 2003, Syngenta Crop Protection, Whittlesford, Cambs.
At a well attended meeting held at Syngenta Crop Protection 's Whittlesford base, the stakeholder forum considered "traits" other than disease resistance which were important to the UK oilseed rape industry. Discussions were wide ranging and it became clear that growing oilseed rape successfully was quite an art!
