With multi-crop expertise and exceptional agronomic information on offer, Pannar’s crop shows, known as Extravaganzas, are a highlight on South African grain producers’ calendars.
The 2020 Pannar Extravaganza series runs across the country’s maize production area from February to April. These events provide producers with an excellent platform to see Pannar’s latest products first-hand and to interact at a personal level with the company’s experts and executives.
This year Pannar is actively supporting the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH). Designated by the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), IYPH 2020 is a momentous opportunity to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development. Producers will hear more from Pannar’s team of experienced agronomists about how they can keep their crops healthy, protecting the huge range of benefits plants provide to humans, wildlife, the environment and to our economy. Attractions include the following:
