@dpfellrunners I ran this too and finished 4th place, please can I be added to the results?

Lovely frost last Friday morning for the mechanical #covercrop destruction treatment at our @AffinityWater site 🥶
We'll be comparing nitrogen release from this vs. glyphosate #NiCCsProject #covercrops @PortsmouthWater @anne_bhogal @rachelthorman1 @aphidman

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Sam Kendle and Douglas Brown from our field team installing porous pots last month to measure #nitrateleaching losses from #covercrops at our @Affinitywater site #NiCCsProject

@striturf_tomy @striturf Congratulations Tom!

[Portsmouth Water @PortsmouthWater]

We're working with @ADASGroup @AffinityWater to fund an innovative study to understand the rotational and environmental impacts of nitrogen captured by autumn/winter cover crops. #covercrop #NiCCsProject

[Affinity Water 🦆 @AffinityWater]

Thanks to @aafmagazine for writing up this joint-funded innovative project with @PortsmouthWater delivered by @ADASGroup "Water Companies fund cover crop study to help farmers refine nitrogen use and protect water quality" #covercrop #NiCCsProject

New paper from the SoilBioHedge project! #Earthworms #leys #soil #biodiversity with @MarkEHodson & David Jones Jonathan Leake @rggeo @chapmanpippa @geojho @Luehea @DBerdeni @SusannahBird @Soil_Security @YorkEnvironment @NUGeog https://t.co/PDH7DlTwc0

Use of leys leads to improved soil hydrological functioning and resilience to flood damage in arable soils.

[Pippa Chapman @chapmanpippa]

Great to see another paper published from the SoilBioHedge project @Soil_Security @WhiteRoseUC @DBerdeni @geojho @rggeo @Luehea @MarkEHodson, Jonathan Leake and others on #soil quality #regeneration by grass-clover leys in arable rotations https://t.co/Y7LodE1dTG

[Paul Newell Price @JPaulNP]

@ADASGroup field team measuring infiltration rates & assessing #soil structure on the @Uni_Newcastle Cockle Park hydrologically isolated plots. Will grass-clover, deep rooting herbs & legumes or mechanical loosening be best for soil structure & water infiltration?.. @H2020SuperG

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Deep burrowing earthworms create vertical burrows that improve #soil porosity & water filtration, allowing crop roots to grow deeper. @DBerdeni & @IFarmers are looking at how we can increase worm numbers. Read about their field lab this #WorldWormDay! https://t.co/gXRZbftr0k

[Despina Berdeni @DBerdeni]

@broadwayorchard Well spotted! Was this in the deeper rooting trial area?

[Despina Berdeni @DBerdeni]

@broadwayorchard Yes they were probably mating https://t.co/GkdeV2UswZ

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Thank you to everyone who managed to join us earlier this morning for our #covercrops webinar. 400+ people registered! Hope you all found it helpful!
If you couldn't join us, don't worry. We'll share a recording shortly 😊

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Cover crops have multiple benefits incl. #soilhealth and #water quality. To maximise those benefits, you need to consider species choice, establishment, management & destruction. We'll be covering all of this on our webinar tomorrow at 10:30. Register at https://t.co/ZXDwlSWEpF

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Looking to make the most of your #covercrops? Join our 'Cover Crops: Research into practice' webinar with scientists @anne_bhogal & @KateESmith11 who will be sharing practical advice on crop choice and management.
📅 6 October 10:30 -11:30
