A sunny and warm change of scene for the annual @Root2Res meeting 🇲🇦

[Charlotte White @C_A_White]

A bit of #exploring before the @Root2Res annual meeting starts. Looking forward to catching up with everyone and hearing the project updates.

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

Join us on Monday at 2pm 📆 to hear about making economic sense of mitigation strategies to reduce crop C footprints 🌾🦶

Finished the summer in Rennes 🇫🇷 attending the European Society of Agronomy conference. Great diversity of talks on how to improve resilience of our cropping systems under environmental change. I also presented at the @Root2Res mid-term symposium, sharing our initial results.

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

Lots of interesting discussions around how can we use roots to bio-engineer compacted soils and the role cultivations play in root structure at our Breakthru project meeting with @UoNBiosciences and @Rothamsted, hosted by @ADASGroup and our host farmer Ian Holmes.

[Rachel Thorman @rachelthorman1]

Come and join our fab Soils & Nutrients team @ADASGroup 😊

[Chloe Francis @ChloeMo95]

A challenging season but one we can learn a lot from.

Join us at our open day in Herefordshire on Tuesday 18th June where I will be joined by @rebecca_joynt @AdasBlake @lynntatnell1 @sarahkendall10 @CBaxter_91 @E_Dearlove.

Oh and there is a hog roast!

A transatlantic YEN meeting this week! A big thank you to the @GreatLakesYEN team who traveled to @ADASBoxworth to exchange ideas on enhancing crop yields & meet UK YEN growers.
Very much looking forward to more collaboration opportunities with our Canadian counterparts! 🍁

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

Session on the @TheAHDB stand at @CerealsEvent discussing whether remote sensing and decision support systems negate the need for crop walking - featuring Susie Roques from @ADASGroup. Main message was these tools can improve efficiency of crop walking/agronomy, not replace.

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

@ADASGroup teamwork at its finest, implementing different cultivations in our BREAKTHRU second year trial. Studying rooting under varying soil strengths in spring wheat with different ethylene sensitivities - led by @UoNBiosciences

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

Enjoying a day @ADASRosemaund filming our root washing process for @Root2Res. It might look like 4 buckets on a garden table but it’s an important piece of kit!

[ADAS @ADASGroup]

Our crop physiology team welcomed representatives from the Australian Grains Research and Development Corporation @theGRDC to our Boxworth office yesterday to hear about the YEN initiative🌿

#KnowledgeSharing #Collaboration

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

Thanks to the @ADASGroup team & our host @ianholmes20 for setting up the cultivation treatments in our BREAKTHRU trial! Led by @UoNBiosciences this project will test ethylene insensitive spring wheat genotypes for their ability to grow through compacted soil.

[ADAS Gleadthorpe @adasgleadthorpe]

Teamwork makes the dream work. Thanks to @ADASRosemaund for helping with the cultivation for one of our trials yesterday!

Great to be involved in this exciting project led by @UoNBiosciences - watch this space! #rooting

[ADAS Boxworth @ADASBoxworth]

Wheat in flower in December?! These plants are growing to produce seed for the #BREAKTHRU project.
The varieties have different levels of insensitivity to ethylene which should affect their ability to grow in compacted soil. Field trials in the spring will put this to the test!🌾

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

@ThisSunOfYork @CHollyWalker @larsostergaard Congrats @CHollyWalker! 😀

[Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91]

Great to spend the day at @CropTecShow talking nitrogen management with @Bayer4CropsUK and catching up with lots of people across the industry

[Bayer Crop Science UK @Bayer4CropsUK]

“More than 50% of a wheat crop’s carbon footprint comes from nitrogen fertiliser”😯
Huge thanks to Dr Christina Baxter @CBaxter_91 from @ADASGroup for sharing 10 tips to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through optimising #nitrogen management 🚜
