This week, the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) awarded Professor Roger Sylvester-Bradley, Head of Crop Performance at ADAS, with the RASE 2025 Science and Technology Award, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to agricultural science. For over four decades, Roger has been at the forefront of agricultural science, shaping the way we understand and manage crop performance. ...
The European CAP Network (Common Agricultural Policy) has been recently created by the European Commission to support the design and implementation of the CAP strategic plans. This institution also optimizes the flow of information on agriculture and rural policy of the EU member states.Dr. Lars T. Berger (Head of Technology, Fede) is part of the focus group specialized in methods of reducing the ...
An agronomic research team made up of Maria Teresa Martínez-Ferrer, Miquel Fibla and José Miguel Campos (IRTA-Amposta) and Santiago Planas (Centro de Investigación Agroalimentaria Agrotecnio) has published the results of the IRTA’s “Dose and drift in citrus” trial on the Sustainable Use of Phytosanitary Products, which received the support of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural ...

As combines roll and the growing season draws to a close, now is the ideal time for farmers to step back and assess whether their crop nutrition strategies worked or didn’t. In a recent NUTRI-CHECK NET webinar, ADAS crop physiologists Dr Sarah Kendall and Dr Tamara Fitters shared how grain analysis and post-harvest reviews can play a pivotal role in refining nutrient strategies for future ...
While low rainfall has helped to keep septoria disease pressure low, 2025 also saw changes in the yellow rust population, with AHDB reporting unusual early observations on several winter wheat varieties in Recommended Lists (RL) trials. This has presented significant challenges in managing winter wheat crops, says ADAS Senior Research Scientist Chloe Francis. The 2024-25 growing ...
Tell us how you make nutrient management planning decisions following catch or cover crops As part of the new Cover crop decision support tool (DST) scoping project funded by AHDB, Anglian Water, Wessex Water and Southern Water, ADAS is carrying out a survey to understand nutrient management planning decisions following cover (or catch) crops. This survey is for all farmers and ...
Researchers from ADAS have concluded that a single population of Italian ryegrass in Kent has successfully evolved resistance to glyphosate following rigorous laboratory testing and resampling. The discovered case was in a high risk scenario where large weeds were surviving high rates of appropriate glyphosate applications in the run-up to drilling a relatively late drilling spring crop. Signs ...
