MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 30, 2015 /CNW/ - BASF is hosting AgCelence® Academy, a live, online panel focusing on crop production and using fungicides in Western Canada. AgCelence Academy brings experienced growers from across the prairies together to offer advice and share experiences to help educate other growers on fungicide best practices and the benefits of AgCelence (seen in such products as HEADLINE®, TWINLINE®, INSURE™ Cereal seed treatment and new PRIAXOR® fungicide).
"At BASF, we believe part of growers' profitable growth now and in the future includes a commitment to sharing knowledge," said Jason Leitch, Fungicide Brand Manager at BASF Canada. "We've gathered growers who have demonstrated a similar commitment and have a high level of expertise in getting the most out of every acre to act as our 'faculty'. BASF is proud to give growers the opportunity to share their expertise with others online through the AgCelence Academy."
AgCelence Academy is an innovative online panel series that features Canadian growers as the 'faculty' to answer real time questions through Twitter and discuss fungicide best practices. Kevin Stewart, professional speaker, will moderate each class, introduce the faculty and direct questions, speakers and topics.
This spring AgCelence Academy will cover the following topics:
