Description
The Asparagus Growers Association is delighted to announce the return of the Biennial British Asparagus Conference taking place on Wednesday 15 July 2026 at Norchard Farm, Crossway Green, Stourport-on-Severn DY13 9SN, from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm.
This flagship event will bring together growers, agronomists, researchers, and key industry stakeholders to explore the latest developments, challenges, and innovations shaping the UK asparagus sector. The theme for 2026 will be “Weed Control and Herbicide Challenges”, addressing a significant and timely issue for asparagus growers. Alongside the conference sessions, a trade exhibition will provide excellent opportunities for networking and collaboration across the industry. A networking lunch will further encourage discussions among growers, agronomists, machinery suppliers, and other associated industries.
Following lunch, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in a farm tour, featuring:
- Module trials and demonstrations of modules versus crowns
- Herbicide demonstration plots
- Mature asparagus crops
- 3-metre bed width systems
- Machinery demonstrations
To kick off the event in style, join us the night before on 14 July for a Drinks Reception and Conference Dinner at The Hadley Bowling Green, Hadley Heath:
