An EU-funded project is scouting for 20 UK farmers to participate in trials researching cereal-legume intercropping, focusing on yield, quality, reducing inputs and knowledge transfer. 

Maximising herbicide efficiency will be key for growers wanting to effectively control weeds whilst reducing their inputs this spring.

An early opportunity to drill spring crops in February has been presented to farmers due to a mild and dry winter with ‘unprecedented’ ground conditions reported across England.

Farmers will need to gain a better understanding of their soils to meet the new Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) ‘arable soils’ standard.

Backward and forward crops will need a good early dose of nitrogen as where soil nitrogen supply (SNS) levels are low they are at risk of running out of steam, advises leading crop production specialists.Backward and forward crops will need a good early d

The important role that micronutrients play in nitrogen use efficiency has been highlighted by a grain ‘post-mortem’ that enables growers to identify areas for future improvement in their crop nutrition programmes.

A key take home message at the Rootstock conference in Exeter was to change the way growers think about soils

Sencrop is expecting that new research and collaboration opportunities will benefit British farmers as it opens its first UK office at NIAB’s Barn4 AgriTech Incubator in Cambridge.
