There were fifteen delegates including growers, Farming Connect facilitators and researchers. 1.4 The second workshop was held at the Welsh College of Horticulture, Northop, Mold, 22 January, 2003. There were seven delegates including growers, consultants, 1 Farming Connect Facilitator and 2 students. 1.5 The third workshop was held at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, Llanarthne, Carmarthen. There were 28 delegates, 25 growers and three researchers / consultants. 1.6 Technical information has been prepared on ‘Pest and Disease Control in Horticultural Crops’ and ‘Weed Control in Horticultural Crops’ for organic growers. The format for publication will be decided by Organic Centre Wales. 1.7 The workshops identified 9 areas for action: composting, management of specific pests and diseases, making information on mechanical weed control more available, developing top and soft fruit growing, promoting health benefits of organic food, promoting marketing, support for horticultural businesses, monitoring effects of climate change, collection of information on the performance of organic seed varieties, the need for high quality alternatives to peat based growing media, and a greater focus on nonfood crops. 1.8 Priorities and action points have been developed for each of these areas and it is proposed that these should be incorporated into a draft Action Plan for Organic Horticulture in Wales.", "date": "2003-08", "date_type": "published", "institution": "Organic Centre Wales", "referencetext": "Allen-Stevens, T (2002) Varieties influence 'picky' slugs.
