📹 Arable Agronomist, Chloe Kirkwood, was at our Helix Yorkshire site with host farmer, Rebecca Wilson recently, exploring the technology on farm that is helping drive smarter decisions. The focus this year is to bring together different technologies to better understand crop health, soil function, nutrient use and disease risk throughout the season. The technology on farm this year includes… 🛰️ Messium - hyperspectral satellite imagery tracking crop nitrogen status to optimise N timing and application 🔍 PlentySense - real-time soil nitrate monitoring 🍃 Feed The Need - in-season tissue testing to identify and correct nutrient deficiencies 🌱 Elaniti - analysing soil biology to understand what’s happening beneath the surface 🌾 Syngenta Disease Prediction Model - helping predict and manage disease pressure 🧬 Optigene - rapid DNA-based wheat disease identification Join us at Hundayfield Farm on Wednesday 3rd June to see these innovative trials for yourself!

Our Walworth team have been out on farm recently monitoring crops as they move out of winter and head towards the spring 🌥️ Here are their latest agronomy insights to help you set up your crops for a strong season ahead... 🧪 The team have been carrying out Soil Mineral Nitrogen tests to get an accurate reading of the Soil Nitrogen Supply. This will allow a more accurate first nitrogen application, which is important as crops are well tillered 🌱 Crops are generally quite big across the region, and it is important to consider an early Plant Growth Regulator to promote rooting, tiller retention and reduce the risk of lodging 🍃 Consider carrying out a plant tissue test to assess which micronutrients may be deficient in your crops. Two micronutrients which can sometimes be overlooked are zinc and boron. Zinc is essential for early shoot and root development whilst boron is crucial for cell wall strength and pollen viability Keep an eye out for more updates from the Walworth team throughout the season ahead of their annual Open Day on Wednesday 24th June! 👀
