Lovely frost last Friday morning for the mechanical #covercrop destruction treatment at our @AffinityWater site 🥶
We'll be comparing nitrogen release from this vs. glyphosate #NiCCsProject #covercrops @PortsmouthWater @anne_bhogal @rachelthorman1 @aphidman

We're working with @ADASGroup @AffinityWater to fund an innovative study to understand the rotational and environmental impacts of nitrogen captured by autumn/winter cover crops. #covercrop #NiCCsProject

Thanks to @aafmagazine for writing up this joint-funded innovative project with @PortsmouthWater delivered by @ADASGroup "Water Companies fund cover crop study to help farmers refine nitrogen use and protect water quality" #covercrop #NiCCsProject

Use of leys leads to improved soil hydrological functioning and resilience to flood damage in arable soils.

Great to see another paper published from the SoilBioHedge project @Soil_Security @WhiteRoseUC @DBerdeni @geojho @rggeo @Luehea @MarkEHodson, Jonathan Leake and others on #soil quality #regeneration by grass-clover leys in arable rotations authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

@ADASGroup field team measuring infiltration rates & assessing #soil structure on the @Uni_Newcastle Cockle Park hydrologically isolated plots. Will grass-clover, deep rooting herbs & legumes or mechanical loosening be best for soil structure & water infiltration?.. @H2020SuperG
Despina Berdeni retweeted
Deep burrowing earthworms create vertical burrows that improve #soil porosity & water filtration, allowing crop roots to grow deeper. @DBerdeni & @IFarmers are looking at how we can increase worm numbers. Read about their field lab this #WorldWormDay! innovativefarmers.org/news/2…

Thank you to everyone who managed to join us earlier this morning for our #covercrops webinar. 400+ people registered! Hope you all found it helpful!
If you couldn't join us, don't worry. We'll share a recording shortly 😊

Cover crops have multiple benefits incl. #soilhealth and #water quality. To maximise those benefits, you need to consider species choice, establishment, management & destruction. We'll be covering all of this on our webinar tomorrow at 10:30. Register at adas.uk/News/webinar-cover-c…

Fantastic to be on #BBCFarmingToday this morning discussing our #fieldlab research quantifying whether deep burrowing earthworms can improve crop rooting depths. @broadwayorchard @IFarmers @ADASGroup @SquabRob @anne_bhogal @drkindred bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000mk…

The #fieldlab investigating the best soil management practices to maintain a healthy population of deeper rooting earthworms is on #BBCFarmingToday this morning.
Hear @broadwayorchard and @DBerdeni talking about why the #farmerled research is important.👇
