Briefings

A series of briefings has been produced that aim to break technical information into briefings of size that can be digested easily.

Note: With the removal of Asulam as a viable control method for 2024 and beyond, some of the information in the available briefings may now be outdated and considered 'historical'. As ever, the briefings aim to be as up to date as possible, with new briefings produced regularly.
