Got my favourite field day comment after explaining adult plant resistance (APR) last week (photo 1). ‘Yeah, but you are still losing green leaf area with APR!’ 🤔😤Response: then grow a variety with little or no APR (ie susceptible, photo 2). Problem solved. 🤣

😎The man, the myth (??), the legend!!! A HUGE CONGRATS to Simphy who was awarded the 2025 Brownhill Cup at the annual @AgQuip Grower Forum 2025! Well deserved by someone who can complex disease scenarios into farm ready solutions….normally with a few jokes thrown in!
