Time for @TillageLive!
If you're here, come take a look at what's happening below in our soil pit 🪱, learn about different water infiltration rates💧, and pick up some @BASISRegLtd points here to boot 🥾

Deciding when to drill winter #barley?
Too late could hurt yield. Too early could increase the risk of #BYDV.
ADAS crop physiologist Dr Sarah Kendall explains what to factor in before heading out ⬇️

On Wednesday we're heading to HoneyDown Farm in Somerset for a farm walk with Stuart Bacon.
Stuart will give us a tour of his #slurry storage facilities & explain how he makes the most of #manures from his #dairy herd 🐄

🌱 Having P in the soil doesn't mean the crop can access it.

Thanks to @JanineAcrops @cpm_magazine for exploring our new phosphate stewardship approach in its August issue, alongside insight from @ADASGroup & @HutchinsonsAgUK

Protect it. Place it. Unlock it.

New update to Defra's Nutrient Management Planning (NMPT-GB) Tool released yesterday.
Users can now do standalone MANNER-NPK calculations without needing to do a full nutrient management plan 💩⬇️

The Phosphate Clinic 🎥
Phosphorus is there. So why isn't the crop accessing it?

In this Phosphate Clinic, Dr Christina Baxter of @ADASGroup & Rob Suckling of De Sangosse look at why P uptake can be restricted - even where soil P supply appears adequate.

➡️ Watch the latest Phosphate Clinic: https://t.co/UrI27UKFJ5

Follow us for the next Clinic, where we'll look at how to diagnose what's actually limiting phosphorus uptake, working through a few examples.

CPM survey: With potential repercussions of early drilling last autumn raising concerns regarding grassweed control on some farms, how do growers perceive the threat & what have they been doing to keep on top of populations? @BASFcropUK

Introducing The Phosphate Clinic 🎥

Harvest may be over. But what did it tell you?

In the first Phosphate Clinic, Dr Christina Baxter of @ADASGroup & Rob Suckling of De Sangosse discuss why reviewing the harvested crop is the starting point for better phosphorus decisions.

Introducing The Phosphate Stewardship Hub.
Developed in collaboration with @ADASGroup, our new online Hub helps growers and agronomists move from harvest review to diagnosing phosphorus limitation, stewardship strategy and water protection.

Look, we know how expensive it can be to put a new #fertiliser #biostimulant product through independent tests. So how about sharing a nutrition trial?
Split the cost but results stay confidential 🔐
Same scientific rigour but more cost-efficient💷

Our new Phosphate Stewardship Guide sparked some great conversations @CerealsEvent

Now we're building on that momentum.

In this short video, Rob Suckling from #DeSangosse & Dr Christina Baxter from @ADASGroup introduce the upcoming Phosphate Stewardship Hub.

Watch this space.

👉 You've read the Guide. Now it's time to apply it.

Many UK soils already contain significant phosphorus reserves, yet crops can still struggle to access it when they need it most.

Coming soon to the De Sangosse website: The Phosphate Stewardship Hub.

CPM feature: New @ADASGroup research reveals variable rate nitrogen applications result in only minor improvements to yield, gross margin & greenhouse gas emissions, compared with a standard flat rate. We investigate what this could mean for growers.

New for 2026! A rapid leaf tissue #herbicide resistance test for broad-leaved weeds (poppy, mayweed, groundsel, sow thistle, fat hen, chickweed) & annual meadowgrass 🌿⏱️
✅ Do any time of year
✅ Results in 21 days so you can change tack mid-season ⬇️
https://t.co/Qb4qik6kyp

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

☀️Seeds are shedding early this year but there's still time to test #blackgrass for #herbicide resistance 🌾
In fields you've yet to harvest:
- Collect a cup full of ripe seed
- Fill out the order form https://t.co/e8nFGaBMAN
- Send in a paper envelope to ADAS ✅

It's that time again..........

If you want manage you weeds effectively you absolutely must understand the weeds you are trying to control.

We're excited this year to offer rapid leaf/tissue testing as an option for some weed species.
