Legume fallow strips are still capturing light, feeding soil biology and pollinators. We’ll go again this autumn and make it work better.

Did you know oil could help battle water loss in plants? 🌻 Results from experiments at Harper Adams have shown sunflower oil could have potential implications for drought-hit countries worldwide. Read more about our research here: harper.ac.uk/sowlpt

It’s world carrot day 🥕 Did you know we only produce enough fruit & veg for 1/3 of the population to eat 5-a-day? @HarperAdamsUni’s @FreshProdRes @vegprof are combatting fresh produce challenges Find out more 👀 harper-adams.ac.uk/research/… #CarrotDay #worldcarrotday
