Crop Production in Northern Britain 2022 1-2 March 2022 ONLINE
We are pleased to announce the date for CPNB 2022, which will take place on 1-2 March 2022. It will be an on-line event for 2022, recognising the uncertainties around the coming winter and covid restrictions but we hope the change of format brings positive benefits too. The organising committee are keen that this gives an opportunity to present the topical and northern UK focused content that the conference usually enjoys to a wider audience, who will enjoy the unique technical and practical focus of the event. We hope this allows people who would not normally travel and attend a two day conference to join the event and are particularly keen to promote the opportunity to more farmers, agronomists and students.
We are now inviting Offers of Platform Presentations (talks) and Posters (which will be available to browse on the platform and accompanied by a 2 minute pitch).
Those offering presentations and posters will be asked to submit an extended abstract (up to 1 A4 page equivalent) which will be available to view online and download for delegates. There will be no requirement this year to submit full papers.
The usual three sessions, 1) Agriculture and the Environment, 2) Combinable Crops, and 3) Potatoes will be the format of the online conference.

The Closing Date for Offers is 30th June 2021.
CPNB 2022 ("The Dundee Conference") will be the foremost Conference
concerning environmental management and crop production and associated topics in northern environments. Whilst the long-established Association for Crop Protection in Northern Britain is not changing its name, the change in the title of the Conference to Crop PRODUCTION, reflects the wider remit of recent conferences.
The Dundee Conference covers Agri-environmental and Economic Aspects, Combinable Crops, and Potatoes.
CPNB 2022 is organised by The Association for Crop Protection in Northern
Britain, a non-profit making Registered Charity which brings together The James Hutton Institute,
Scotland's Rural College, Scottish Agricultural Science Agency, NatureScot and the agricultural trade in Scotland.
The aim of the Conference is to bring together farmers, agricultural and horticultural advisers, the technical staff of the agricultural chemical trade and all those concerned with recent advances in crop production methods and in chemical and non-chemical crop protection, including advisory, research and government organisations, to discuss crop production and protection problems prevalent in northern environments. In addition to those from Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland, the Conference will be of relevance to many others in Northern Europe.
It is the Association's policy to grant a concessionary rate to students. Individual students can attend at a concessionary rate.
