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 thought of an Environment Agency (EA) inspection causes stress for many farmers. With broad inspection areas and various regulations to consider, it can be difficult to prepare. To help alleviate some of the uncertainty, we explore the eight most common reasons for inspection failures and things farmers should consider. According to the AIC, the Environment Agency ...
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 seasons. Many farmers are already diligent about planning their crop nutrition at the beginning of the season, but few revisit and adjust those plans as the season ...
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 ...
The shifting dynamics of global weather patterns have brought a new layer of complexity to agricultural practices. If you’re in farming, you’ve likely noticed the growing unpredictability of our seasons. Addressing these shifts requires a combination of innovative strategies, practical adaptations, and long-term planning. Our way of life is being tested by increasingly erratic weather ...
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI), in partnership with the World Vegetable Center and Sri Lanka’s Department of Agriculture is promoting safe and sustainable vegetable cultivation in Sri Lanka through a package of good agronomic practices using farmer participatory trials. IWMI’s research under the CGIAR Initiative on Fruit and Vegetables for Sustainable Healthy ...
Due to climate change, regions across Asia and Africa are experiencing higher frequencies of floods and drought. Coupled with rising temperatures, traditional crop-growing patterns have been altered, delayed, and disrupted. A subsequent decline in crop quality and quantity has shown macro-scale impacts on agriculture, vegetable markets, and local community ...
This year’s challenge takes place on the Yorkshire Wolds with each entrant being assigned a 48 m2 plot of winter wheat replicated 4 times. A separate control treatment will receive nutrition in line with RB209 field assessment recommendations and a second control treatment will be left untreated. Other than fertiliser and biostimulant choice and timings, all other crop applications will ...
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions instead. This technique allows for precise control over the growing environment, including nutrient delivery, water supply, and light exposure, leading to faster growth rates and higher yields. ...
REA responds to the Environment Agency’s publication of a Regulatory Position Statement (RPS) on the spreading of organic manures on agricultural land; Conditions of the RPS makes it possible to have a plan to apply organic manure to agricultural land that may exceed the needs of the soil or crop, as long as it does not cause pollution; REA welcomes the clarity ahead of ...

The Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) and Truterra, LLC have been awarded $1.5 million in funding from USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to accelerate the adoption of precision nutrient management and soil health practices in partnership with agricultural retailers in Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska. ...
Amid a Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) workshop on “Improved manure management and nutrient use towards sustainable and resilient agricultural systems”, IFA is bringing an industry delegation, with representatives from Yara, BASF, the Fertilizer Institute and Fertilizer Canada, to reiterate fertilizer’s key role in ensuring food ...
” With a need to explore policies and incentives to promote the site and crop specific nutrient management, Hans Dreyer Head of the FAO’s Plant Production and Protection Division, saw fertilizers making a significant contribution to global food security, farmers’ livelihoods and human nutrition and sought to strengthen the FAO’s ...
WASHINGTON, June 6, 2019 – The Fertilizer Institute announced today the Foundation for Agronomic Research, which administers projects for the 4R Research Fund, has awarded nearly $2.7 million in grants to universities to conduct field research and demonstration projects that evaluate and promote the economic, social, and environmental outcomes of 4R Nutrient Stewardship. ...
“Matt Rezac is a 4th generation farmer who fully embodies what it means to be a good steward of the land by embracing 4R nutrient stewardship principles as part of the Land O’Lakes SUSTAIN program,” said Jahn. ...
The event also highlights promising applications of algae – such as wastewater treatment, nutrient management, and carbon capture and use – to safeguard our water, air and soil, including solutions to algae blooms facing Florida and other parts of the world. ...
Zhang also established the Science and Technology Backyard*** initiative in which agricultural scientists spend up to eight months of the year living in villages with farmers to help train them in best practices, including proper nutrient management. This initiative identified 10 factors contributing to a yield gap, including poor fertilizer ...
