The CR-180 is a 15-foot cover crop crimper designed for heavy-duty use in orchards and row crops. The low-profile frame acts like a trailer to facilitate transport and enable tight turns at end of rows. The tool is used in late spring to terminate a cover crop and contribute nutrients to the soil while inhibiting weed growth ...
The 2026 ADAS Nutrition Challenge invites companies to put their nutrient-management strategies to the test. Participants will compete directly against ADAS crop scientists and the industry standard RB209 to see who achieves the highest gross margin over nutrient costs. ...
These visits have included a wide range of experiences: crop trials, infrastructure appraisals, soil and nutrient management planning, water management visits, agri-environment scheme applications, and more. ...
The ADAS Farming Association provides independent strategic technical support to agronomists and farmers. ADAS crop scientists put current research into perspective and provide clear, unbiased guidance on upcoming agronomic decisions. Members of the ADAS Farming Association receive: Timely action recommendations on soils, weeds, crop nutrition, pests, and disease (weekly during the main ...
ADAS Senior Crop Research Scientist Dr Christina Baxter takes a look… Phosphorus (P) is a crop nutrient found in soils – critical for plant root formation, energy transfer, and DNA synthesis. Despite UK agricultural soils typically having good levels of P, it is an elusive nutrient for plants to ...
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. ...
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 ...
This has presented significant challenges in managing winter wheat crops, says ADAS Senior Research Scientist Chloe Francis. ...
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 ...
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 ...
When it comes to plant development and yield, imbalance is more likely to threaten soil health, production and your pocketbook. Instead, achieving nutrient balance is crucial to crop success. With that in mind, we reflect on the often-perceived conflicting theories – Liebig’s Law of Minimum and Mitcherlich’s Law of the Maximum – and ...
Pivot Bio, a leading sustainable agriculture company, today announced that its sustainability program, N-OVATOR™, has paid over $6 million to growers for implementing better nitrogen management practices since its launch in 2022. N-OVATOR™ provides prompt, annual payments to growers and is the first insetting program to focus on nitrous oxide emissions. Repeatable by design and ...
This results in better root penetration and nutrient absorption by crops. Enhanced Moisture Retention The porous nature of coconut shell charcoal aids in moisture retention, ensuring that plants have access to water even during dry spells, reducing water stress on crops. Impact on Crop Growth Nutrient Retention ...
By avoiding water stress, crops can achieve higher yields and improved quality. 2.2. Nutrient Management: Soil sensor technology enables farmers to optimize nutrient management by monitoring nutrient levels in the soil. ...
Robert Reiter, Head of R&D at Bayer’s Crop Science Division. “Farmers need the best genetics with best-in-class traits, they need data-driven planting scripts to know when and where to plant those crops. And they need lower impact small molecule crop protection paired with late-season biological solutions and precision ...

The fully equipped state-of-the-art research centre, housed at its HQ in Belgium, boasts multiple controlled environment growth chambers for crop cultivar screening, nutrient formulations, plant cultivation techniques, LED light spectrum research, hydroponic irrigation, and ...
Microbe Life Hydroponics, a leading provider of advanced plant nutrient and microbial solutions, is excited to announce the release of TERPS PLUS, a new fertilizer enhancer specially formulated to increase cannabinoid output and terpene production in cannabis and hemp plants. TERPS PLUS is a cannabis-proven suite of technologies, which was developed for hydroponics over 4 years, ...
Basically, by doing nothing it was perfectly viable to grow crops. Fukuoka named his method “Shizen Noho”, or “Do-nothing farming”. ...
” For instance: The agriculture industry is using KETOS to create safer crops, improve grow quality with better nutrient blends and increase water reuse in open fields with ground water and controlled environments. ...
Organic matter promotes the growth and development of crops. Humic acid in soil organic matter can enhance plant respiration, improve cell membrane permeability, and enhance the absorption of nutrients. ...
