We benefited from an @AgriTechEast partnered mission to Canada earlier this year. This Missouri Agri-Tech Connect Programme, looks interesting. @MOPartnership

[HoldsworthAssociates @HoldsworthPR]

A fantastic opportunity for early stage agri-tech companies to get an introduction to St Louis agri-food ecosystem,located in the heart of US agricultural production. Closes 6th Dec. @MOPartnership @AgriTechEast https://t.co/MHAo2yuQUD

Growing potatoes without copper🥔Organic-PLUS partner @SoilAssociation held a recent open day examining the future of UK potato production without copper fungicides. Read more here; https://t.co/VidzZA5vdh 🥔🥔🥔

Plant health starts with the soil. This is well featured #ATW19 Prof John Crawford to discuss how to manage the soil microbiome to bioengineer the soil for function #REAP2019 A look at smart irrigation on Thurs @TheAHDB Babyleaf on Fri @NIABTAG with alternatives to soil!

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

Agri-Tech Week has arrived! 100s of UK & international #ag #food and #farm organisations are joining us this week - hope you are too? More details on our website, and follow us here throughout #ATW19 for the latest #agritech insights and announcements https://t.co/MVQQ9jCVe3

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Exciting line-up for the #BFA19 awards tonight pleased to see #agritech innovation is a new category.

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

All the best to all the finalists in the #BFA19. Will it be precision beef production, zone mapping, crop monitoring by smartphone or farm security that wins the #agritech innovator prize https://t.co/slMAFxeTGl

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

We will be taking part @tradegovuk "Game Changing Technology for Agriculture" event for the first time. Looking forward to talking about #agritech innovations in natural extract formulations. Will you be there?

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

@planthealthprog @Crop_Protection We also thought the @Inra_Intl report gave some interesting insights to copper alternatives https://t.co/GIvAU5yDi4

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

We have reviewed the #INRA report “Can organic agriculture give up copper as a #cropprotection product?” It provides a useful overview of the current status of thinking and pointers for going forward @Ben_Raskin @Inra_Intl https://t.co/GIvAU5yDi4

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

For those interested in integrated farm management a discussion of alternatives to copper for #PotatoCultivation will be of interest https://t.co/VDOa4yNmeD

[Jersey Royal Co @JerseyRoyalCo]

Integrated Farm Management at its best. Hot mustard helps control PCN, whilst also a good source of green manure and a perfect environment for wildlife including pollinators. @LEAF_Farming @LEAFMarque

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

@SoilAssociation Is it possible to grow organic potatoes without copper? We think so and are looking forward to discussing alternatives at this event @RBOrganicfarm and to gaining a Europe perspective @UlrichSchmutz @OrgPLUSresearch
https://t.co/VDOa4yNmeD

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Interesting that studies @NIABTAG found that crop root development was impacted if certain nutrients were in abundance. Suggesting over-supply of nutrients may make the crop plant less resilient to adverse environmental conditions. #ATEevent should provoke discussion @OrgResCent

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

Digestate, a byproduct of anaerobic digestion promises a nutrient high alternative to fertiliser but how do you ensure the value stays in the soil? Farmers discuss the role of cover crops & findings from field lab #ATEevent @ArableFarming @Farming_Holkham https://t.co/B0VuSGr8DG

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

No copper products were authorised for use on potato crops in the UK this year - what has been the impact for #organic agriculture and what are the alternatives? @RBOrganicfarm @ItakaCrop @SoilAssociation @_Organicplus to discuss strategies18 Sep https://t.co/VDOa4yNmeD

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Can you tell friend from foe? @TheAHDB has developed this colourful 'Encyclopaedia of pests and natural enemies in field crops' to help with this essential first step in Integrated Pest Management https://t.co/OL8PkE8NQj

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

The East Malling Viticulture Consortium @NIABEMR has developed a concept vineyard - https://t.co/CscbYvWCv1 - looks as though there is lots of #agritech happening

[Laura Bouvet @Laura_AgriTech]

Really interesting @NIABEMR vineyard tour @FruitFocus showcasing research on weed & herbicide mgt, disease monitoring, canopy and much more. #innovation in action! #FruitFocus19

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

@Laura_AgriTech @NIABEMR @FruitFocus It is a fascinating subject - was there much discussion of using natural products? We are seeing interest in use of micronutrients to restore beneficial microorganisms. https://t.co/j2hEVLmxuH

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Enhancing natural defence mechanisms will help build resilience in crop plants and improving beneficial microorganisms enhances soil health. Worryingly the #IPCC report says soil erosion from conventional tillage is 100 times higher than the rate of soil formation

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

The IPCC report gives land degradation as a major factor in climate change. 70% of available land is already in human use - it is a finite resource. So we need a One Agriculture solution #agritech https://t.co/AxtIRPBq8M

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Working with nature to support sustainable farming. We have a number of field trials underway to see how beneficial microorganisms and naturally occurring plant extracts can boost crop resilience and performance. #Farm24 #agritech

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

We have launched a new English language website to support our program of innovative products that work with nature to enhance the development of healthy plants. Certified @SoilAssociation but also beneficial for conventional farmers.

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Latest roundup from @AgriTechEast.The next meeting is about role of digestate in #soil health, should be an interesting discussion of beneficial microorganisms and results from the Field Lab with @SoilAssociation

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

It's newsletter day - today top story is our #GROWHack2019 roundup, and our brand new video! Watch (1 min) to see what happened earlier this month https://t.co/wuqt0sLoAF
@wwf_uk @BASFcropUK @Eagle_Labs_Agri @ftrbusiness

[Itaka Crop Solution @ItakaCrop]

Insight into mixed cropping trials @ETH_en showing the impact of competition on plant health and beneficial relationships. It would be interesting to know more about the impact on soil health #agritech @studerbr

[D-USYS@ETH @usys_ethzh]

11 films in 11 weeks: Every Monday morning, we are linking to a film of another research group at the @ETH_en Institute of Agricultural Science. Today: The Agricultural Ecology group of @ChristianSchob. #Agriculturalecology #usysscience #whatwedo #MondayMotivation
