So, @MichelleMone cannot see what she or her partner have done wrong. Who then instructed her lawyers to make these ill-founded threats and misrepresentations?

[Richard Anscombe @RichardAnscombe]

@horton_official I think the main question is “can her replacement do any worse”?

Sniffing out on-farm insect pests? Rothamsted have been using sensors to detect individual pest pheromones e.g. aphids, in real-time, allowing farmers to understand pest outbreaks and target control appropriately. #REAP2023 @Agri_Tech_E

In the future, it could be more than just animals eating grass! As a valuable source of oil and protein, this could be on our dinner plates in the next decade......#REAP2023 @Agri_Tech_E

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

Is green the new gold?! Richard Green from @HarperAdamsUni asks could we make better use of grass than feeding it to animals? Their lucrative innovation says yes…

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

David Withall from @Rothamsted has combined insects’ olfactory discriminatory mechanisms (ie their powerfully discerning sense of smell!) with a commercial sensor to give real-time, species-specific pest monitoring in the field.

[Agri-TechE @Agri_Tech_E]

Jonathan Ashworth @EarlhamInst asks: are wildflower meadows a worthy replacement for natural biodiversity loss, or could they create a biodiversity bottleneck via unregulated wildflower mix? We learnt how genomics could guide better and more diverse habitat creation.

[Richard Anscombe @RichardAnscombe]

Grass per HA can produce more oil than Oilseed Rape says Harper Adams University at #REAP2023 @Agri_Tech_E The oil produced would be similar to Soya. Around 5years from commercialisation.
