The DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft) can announce an excellent sign up result for the international open air exhibition 'PotatoEurope', which will take place on the 3rd and 4th of September 2014 at Bockerode in Springe-Mittelrode at Hannover. 220 exhibitionists from 13 countries will present a unique supply of information surrounding the potato, reports the German website Proplanta.de. All well known companies from the cultivation, fertilisation, crop protection, production techniques, processing and trade will be represented. "The sign up result is around twelve percent higher than last time, in 2010," says project leader dr. Wilfried Wolf of DLG.
The potato professionals will receive first hand current and new information about the cultivation of high value products at PotatoEurope. They will also receive important impulses to improve the position of the potato among the consumer and to detect new sales potential. Current races as well as various fertilisation and crop protection strategies will be shown on the demonstration plots. This will give the growers important recommendations for the future potato cultivation.
On the campus the supply will be complemented with stands in a large tent hall. Here the exhibitionists will present the complete spectrum of the exhibition programme of the cultivation and the production to the processing and sales. The industry, science, agricultural organisations and unions are represented here and give information on potato varieties, cultivation methods and techniques, potato processing and storage, but also questions of management, sales and services.
