With our expertise in seeds and crop protection and your knowledge and experience of your farm, we can work together to help you get the best from your land. This year our stand at Cereals provided the perfect opportunity for you to talk to our technical experts about issues you face on farm and understand how our exciting new technologies can help you to overcome key concerns.
Watch our highlights from Cereals 2017
With virtual reality black-grass tours, desktop rhizotron experiments, nozzle demonstrations and 3D microscopy imagery, there were plenty of ways to get hands on at Cereals Event. Thank you for joining us; don't forget to register for your local demo day.
Highlights
Extensive variety plots
Winter wheats, hybrid barleys, and malting barleys, as well as six new varieties. Meet the breeders and learn about how to get the best from the varieties on your farm, and grow for your end market.
Adaptive disease management
Using ‘known’ risk factors – of variety, drilling date and location – together with evolving in-season weather risks, to develop practical approaches to minimise yield loss. Discuss how this approach is working at our Innovation Centres this season.
Rooting and establishment
Good crop establishment requires development of healthy root structures to get the most from the soil. This is increasingly important with practices such as delayed drilling to help reduce black-grass populations. Dig deeper into root health with our interactive plots and pots.
Grassweed management
Envision the future of successful black-grass control through the Barton Black-grass Focus Site trials. We share practical solutions to effective black-grass management from our Innovation Centres to your farm. Immerse yourself in Virtual Reality to discover a full range of agronomy tools and innovative techniques and see how our ideas could be integrated into your programme.
Sustainability
We want to support a sustainable future for agriculture in the UK. Talk to us about application technology for drift reduction, understanding buffer zones, mitigating against run-off, Operation Pollinator seed mixtures, and a five year project investigating conservation agriculture and sustainable farming practices.
Future of farming
As an industry we’re facing a number of challenges, from regulation to resistance and economics. Visit our future farming dome for a bite to eat and a chat with our team. We’d love to hear your thoughts on what the future of technology in crop production could look like.
