🌱A hands-on day at Morley Farms for BOFIN farmer trialists from @truth_project & @probityproject learning shovelomics and seeing the PES sensor in action!
We learned how these tools can help us understand more about what's going on beneath the surface.
Turning data into decisions
TRUTH is more than science – it’s practical insight farmers can use to see what’s working in the field.
Keep up to date with our findings and discuss all topics around soil and roots in The Soil Circle community

Great to see team @UniofNottingham on @GWandShows esp Craig Sturrock explaining the CT scans of roots & how they reveal the “hidden half” of plants. @bofinfarmers Root Rangers are sending in core samples for analysis as part of @_truth_project#Insight 👀

'Remarkable' wheat on the horizon
Did you know that our Root Rangers are trialling wheat identified by @JohnInnesCentre scientists to be able to regulate its own nitrogen supply?
Less fertiliser = more resilience? 🌾

Collaboration unlocks soil secrets
Farmers + @CropSciCentre scientists = a deeper understanding of the soil microbiome.
Year one findings are just the start – more insights to come in year two!
