Science for sustainable agriculture
@rothamsted.ac.uk📣FARMERS - think you can beat the researchers at calculating crop damage? They hit 77.8% accuracy, can farmers and crop advisors do better? Prove your skills and contribute to agricultural research by taking this quick survey: https://ow.ly/bEOE50ZXGlT
@rothamsted.ac.ukLast chance to join researchers, farmers, ag-tech innovators and industry leaders for Agri-Tech Week to discover how cutting-edge research is being turned into practical solutions in crop protection and pest detection.

@rothamsted.ac.ukSeveral of our scientists presented at the Integrated Control in Oilseed Crops conference this week on: 🧑🔬Emergence of fungicide resistance in Phoma 🧑🔬Abiotic stress on Phoma stem canker of oilseed rape 🧑🔬Impacts of clover on spore release in Phoma 🧑🔬Using fungi as biocontrol agents of pollen beetles
@freddietheodoulou.bsky.socialReposted by @rothamsted.ac.ukMy colleague Peter Eastmond giving a whistlestop overview of #PrecisionBreeding @rothamsted.ac.uk and then his high lipid forage work- a great example of public good and value for the farmer #UKPB26
@rothamsted.ac.ukGreat to have a mix of researchers, farmers, and ag-tech here today to discuss the adoption of green ammonia fertiliser in the UK.

@rothamsted.ac.uk🚨Scientists have found resistance to a major group of fungicides in populations of the oilseed rape pathogen Plenodomus biglobosus for the first time worldwide🚨
This raises concerns that control of Phoma stem canker could become increasingly challenging

@rothamsted.ac.ukNew study suggests conservation agriculture's impact on GHGs is more complex than previously thought. While some principles consistently reduce emissions, others can increase them depending on environmental conditions & management decisions👇
