Potatoes in Practice is the largest field-based potato event in the UK. The event brings together variety demonstrations, research and trade exhibits in one place making it an essential date in the potato industry calendar.
In the field, you'll find commercial breeders showcasing the latest varieties, agronomists demonstrating what's new in crop protection and researchers discussing their most recent findings, all on hand to share their knowledge and give advice. And of course, no field event would be complete without machinery - both moving and static.
Potatoes in Practice is set to take place in person as a field event on Thursday 7 August 2025 at Balruddery Farm, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5LJ.
