N-Circle

We are a multidisciplinary, bilateral research project looking to find solutions for sustainable intensification of agriculture through tightening the N cycle

If you should ever get back onto your waterlogged fields, dont forget to download the latest @farmerama__ podcasts to listen to in the cab....especially episode 32 featuring the brilliant @LizzieSagoo talking #soilhealth at the @agricology field day https://t.co/d8LBFGfBcm

[Dave Chadwick @Dave_Chadwick_]

A fully funded PhD opportunity working on the impacts of slurry and digestate acidification on soil quality @BUEnvironment with @ADASGroup and @Rothamsted We need you to provide evidence of the wider impacts of this mitigation strategy on soil processes!! https://t.co/BmLkyrUhGT
