DLG Feldtage 21 FebThe DLG Feldtage 2022 trade fair, which will take place under the guiding theme of My crop production, will be held from 14-16 June in Germany


Many of the over 260 registered exhibitors can now register to participate in the professional topics that form part of the technical programme which will be held at the Kirschgartshausen Versuchsgut ‘Experimental Farm’ near Mannheim, Germany. The DLG expects some 350 exhibitors from the crop production sector at this year’s DLG-Feldtage open air field event.

"The DLG Feldtage 2022 has very good prospects of being able to take place again as the first industry venue after a long time," said project manager Andreas Steul. "We continue to receive registrations from exhibitors," he added. 

Special features on field vegetables and organic farming

As the DLG Feldtage 2022 will take place in the immediate vicinity of the Palatinate, Germanys largest enclosed open-air vegetable growing area, a DLG special feature on the topic of ‘Field Vegetables’ is planned, which will focus on all professional aspects of growing and marketing field vegetables.

The special feature ‘Organic Farming’ will offer professional information on plant breeding, cultivation advice, operating resources and agricultural technology as well as advice on marketing. 

Exhibitor interest in machine demonstration growing

The exhibitors are showing great interest in taking part in the machinery demonstrations, which are part of DLG-Feldtage’s programme highlights. More than 70 machines have registered currently, including 20 machines for shallow tillage (from chain disc harrows to organic tillers, shallow cultivators, disc harrows and shallow ploughs), 16 hoes, 13 crop protection sprayers, seven harrows, seven tractors and telescopic loaders on the new theme Lifting, loading and filling in the field, six fertiliser spreaders and four N-sensors. 

Field robots at work

The International Field Robot Event (FRE) will take place for the fourth time at the DLG Feldtage 2022. International teams of students will compete with their field robots to establish which can achieve the best results in the test field, where conditions will correspond to those that would be found in real-life farming situations. This year, companies manufacturing field robots will be presenting their solutions practically in the field, adding to the offering of field robots.

Co-organisers of the DLG Feldtage 2022 in Mannheim are the Ministry of Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection of Baden-Württemberg, Vereinigte Hagelversicherung, Raiffeisen Waren GmbH, Raiffeisen Waren-Zentrale Rhein-Main eG (RWZ) and ZG Raiffeisen eG.

IPM ESSEN, one of the world’s leading horticulture events which was scheduled for 25-28 January 2022, has been postponed to 24-27 January 2023, in light of rising COVID-19 cases worldwide 


Messe Essen, the organiser, said that in close consultation with the partner associations, the event will enable exhibitors to transfer their registrations to IPM ESSEN 2023. In addition, the company also announced a two-day IPM Summer Edition from 13-14 June 2022, offering a mix of showcase and networking meetings. 

Oliver P Kuhrt, CEO of Messe Essen, explained, "While we have been working at full speed towards IPM ESSEN 2022, the situation of the pandemic has worsened considerably in the last few days with regard to the planning and realisation. Despite all the anticipation for the most important platform of the green sector, the uncertainty among the exhibitors and visitors is presently significant. We are therefore giving all companies that have registered so far, the opportunity to transfer their registration to the 2023 edition."

IPM Summer Edition in June 2022

According to Messe Essen, in order to meet the urgent demand for a communication platform next year, the IPM Summer Edition will provide the green sector an opportunity for exchange in trade and business relations. The event is said to be held both on-site and on a dedicated online platform. 

Sabina Großkreuz, head of marketing at Messe Essen, provides an outlook on the summer event, "The IPM Summer Edition will be held as a two-day showcase with a networking character. We want to give market participants the opportunity to meet and present innovations. Experience shows that the pandemic situation relaxes in the summer so that this format can be realised in all probability. The IPM Summer Edition is not to be understood as a replacement for IPM ESSEN. The sector needs its usual date at the beginning of the year."

Eva Kähler-Theuerkauf, chairwoman of the advisory board and president of the North Rhine-Westphalia Horticultural Association added, "We are defying the pandemic and will see each other in June 2022 for the green industry information get-together with the format of a Summer Edition! We cannot imagine another year without IPM ESSEN. Last year in particular made us sorely miss the knowledge transfer, the personal discussions, the networking and also the emotional connection. The midsummer event is the new horticultural must-have for our industry!" 

Summer edition attracts reactions from the industry

Sebastian Heinje, an IPM exhibitor, said in favour of the two-day IPM Summer Edition, "Messe Essen has made the right decision to postpone IPM ESSEN 2022 by one year. In addition, the IPM Summer Edition will also offer the industry a platform in 2022 to present its products and innovations. The date in summer is perfectly chosen – we as Diderk Heinje Pflanzenhandel will definitely be there." 

Deutsche CUXIN Marketing GmbH managing director Magnus Hoveling said, "We welcome the postponement of IPM ESSEN 2022 to January 2023. Against the background of the current Corona development, this decision was certainly without alternative. For us, participation in the IPM Showroom as part of the IPM Summer Edition in June represents an interesting opportunity: trendy, compact, very easy to implement and attention-grabbing thanks to the additional digital presentation."
