SASRI’s Crop Physiologist,  Dr Riekert van Heerden, has won the Agriculturalist of the Year for Kwazulu-Natal in an event hosted by the Agricultural Writer’s Association. These awards are awarded to individuals who are deserving of recognition for their farming and scientific agricultural merit. Riekert was nominated for the award by Charl Senekal, a well-known commercial grower because of his commercial trial work with chemical ripeners.
