On 20th and 21st September 2006, not far from the Pau-Montardon Agronomy Park, ARVALIS - Institut du Végétal will present the most promising innovations on the horizon for European maize. This field event will showcase top research programmes designed to benefit not only farmers, but the maize sector as a whole.

The show will focus particularly on the most significant advances made in a large number of fields : plant breeding using biotechnologies, use of precision farming technology in crop management and the agri-industrial revolution of biofuels, renewable energy and bioresources.

From its research centre for maize and cereals, part of the Pau-Montardon Agronomy Park, and in collaboration with its partners, ARVALIS-Institut du Végétal wants to help farmers and their partners benefit as early as possible from advances achieved through the use of modern technology, to improve the economy of the different sectors, from maize production to processing (grain, forage, seed, sweet corn). Fields of application include production cost management/control, fertilisation, crop protection, coexistence of GM and non-GM sectors, water management, quality of crops and markets.
