After 4 years the decision to close the potato crop modelling venture Crop4Sight Ltd has been taken. The Crop4Sight platform will cease operating in December 2023 to existing customers.
A big thank you to the fantastic team, loyal customers and supporters for the experience.

Prickly and promising: Open day attendees get an insight into progress of project featuring two trap crops. https://t.co/ALU4AcPQUu @HarperAdamsUni @CHAPAgriTech @ProduceSolution

#potato storage has been generally uncomplicated to date, with warm ambient conditions to allow good drying. The last few hectares maybe more challenging with impending weather.

Since the Colorado 🥔 beetle has been found in crops in Kent, APHA & Defra are encouraging growers, farmers & processors to remain vigilant & report any sighting of the beetle.If widely spread an outbreak can have detrimental effects to crop performance https://t.co/4gSYhHoJyx

We’ve just seen @McCaineUKIE recent video educating a group of non-farming influencers about regenerative agriculture on one of their grower’s farms
🥔 An important message reaching the consumer audience on behalf of UK 🥔 growers! #BritishGrowers #UKGrowers

Reminder of our field meeting next week in Shropshire. If you intend to come along - please register. We understand if people are busy on the day and can't come after all - but would be useful to understand possible numbers- looking like a great turnout so far @cupgra #potato

What are wireworms?
Wireworms are the larvae of click beetles and there’ about 60 species in the UK, but just 3 key species cause most damage 🥔 🐛

Growers are being invited to a crop walk in Shropshire next month to look at the pest in trial plots 👉 https://t.co/wvLfb8G70K

We’re pleased to see that the RPA is responding to farmer feedback by making advance BPS payments of up to 50% this month. Hopefully this will make a huge difference to UK growers while we wait the results of the 2023 potato harvest https://t.co/3GhLGmgIvT

#Farm24 is here! Today, we want to say thank you to all the potato farmers, suppliers and industry professionals supporting the incredible journey our food takes from field to fork. @FarmersGuardian @Morrisons

[Produce Solutions @ProduceSolution]

Wireworm damage isn’t just cosmetic - this is what severe wireworm feeding damage after planting can result in. Still evident now.
Some of the seed pieces were almost completely consumed by wireworm.

“Comparing different potato crops enables growers to see where farming operations should be prioritised. It also makes it easier to match crops to specific customer requirements – helping to improve production efficiencies.” 🥔 Find more information here: https://t.co/2uCtTubKne

Colorado Beetle outbreak: Warning goes out to UK growers as APHA takes eradication measures. https://t.co/LvWwGcohCC

[Crop4Sight @crop4sight]

Blight can infect the foliage, stems and tubers, with visible symptoms appearing in just a couple of days. Look out for infection occurring after two days with a minimum temperature of 10°C 🌡️, and at least six hours of relative humidity (90%). 💧 🥔 #BlightWatch

We’re out on farm today doing yield digs on Jelly Crops. How are your crops looking?
