At Bayer, we’re committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in major agricultural markets - per kilogram of crop yield - by 30% by the year 2030. And how will we get there? By enlisting the help of farmers and tapping into a climate-smart solution farmers know well— soil.
While soil has...
Grass-Weed Control Key Considerations
Perhaps more than any other application, risk management is a key consideration when applying pre-emergence herbicides.
Neither the crop nor weed has emerged, so decisions around risk are required to manage the field appropriately to the conditions and...

Rain monitoring across the country has signalled that phoma thresholds are being reached, with early sown OSR most at risk.
ADAS monitor rain events at its regional centres, and by the end of September many were getting close to the 20-day rain...
We have done most of our spraying with billericay bubble jets @100 ltrs /ha as it suited field size but we have just changed to a bigger sprayer with 5 way rotating nozzle holders but with only one set of nozzles fitted
What nozzles would you recommend and what rates are you using

We should know, because have been the ones running the research to get the views of farmers heard in organisations like NFU, Nature friendly farming Network, LEAF, Tesco, Bayer, British Growers, Red Tractor, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission...
I'm a university student currently conducting research on nutrient use and waste, particularly looking into phosphate pollution of our waterways and eutrophication. As farmers are key stewards of the environment, I'd love to hear what you think about common questions on the issue.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have a short history and an impressively far-reaching impact—from becoming an ally in the fight against climate change, to helping stamp out malnutrition, to preserving the modern papaya. But what do they mean for our food, our families, and our future?

Two-year study supports increased role for biological fungicides in strawberry production
The number of synthetic fungicides required to control the main diseases in a strawberry trial was reduced by 58% while crop quality improved through reduced plant stress.
A two-year trial performed by...

Rothamsted Research’s 400ha site in Harpenden, Hertfordshire is the latest site to join the Linking Environment And Farming (LEAF) network.
The move further strengthens a grouping of innovation centres and demonstration farms, which include some of...
I remain baffled as to why more farmers aren't adopting less power consuming options for establishment of their crops. If output can be maintained then why not? It really does slash fuel, machinery and labour costs and, in our case, not had any impact on yield. Having said that, we considered...
Aye-up,
Just wondering what it’s all about? I understand the aims and the basic process, but there is very little info about how to actually do the job day to day.
Such as what type of building or infrastructure is needed? Can existing farm buildings be converted? What stuff are the larvae fed...
Italian rye-grass is one of the main weed species in cereal crops. With infestations steadily spreading across UK farms, AHDB Crop Protection Scientist Kristina Grenz explains how herbicide resistance management should be front of mind this autumn.
