@TWBFarms @richardpayne94 It is interesting how the media interpreted my research project. I showed the majority of farmland soils had good worm populations, but I guess that isn’t newsworthy https://t.co/B8WdsqSIkj

Our #WeedOfTheWeek is #Charlock, a highly competitive weed in cereals, mainly germinating in the spring. A common cause of elevated erucic acid levels in finished rapeseed oil. Best controlled in cereals when small with products such as #Zypar at 0.75l/ha. https://t.co/in86AYMgyR

Light leaf spot active in #osr

[Peter Forster @forster_1]

Lovely morning to be out walking fields, starting to find Light leaf spot easily. #shepherds warning

[Jess Barker @Jessabelina]

First in field signs of light leaf spot found near ADAS Boxworth on crops that didn’t receive a fungicide in the autumn
