An amazing week of Sports Turf in the USA . Seeing and hearing first hand the impact that silicon is having on these grounds never ceases to amaze. #siliconsisters #sportsturf #siliconnutrition #ukturf #turfmanagement #silicon

A great visit to the STRI yesterday to discuss summer and autumn trials work covering tennis courts, football pitches and golf courses! #sportsturf #resilience

A flying visit to Providence RI last week. We were at the New England Regional Turfgrass show and the feedback we received around our product was absolutely phenomenal. What an amazing team, what a fabulous group of customers. ✈️ #turfgrass #acrossthepond #golfcourse #sportsturf

An interesting day at the #BPOA conference discussing the ongoing challenges of growing in reduced and peat free media. The variable nutrient lock up continues to pose challenges to both professional and home horticulturalists. #biostimulants #growsmarter #peatfree

Exploring sustainable, organic, & biodynamic wine production at its finest with a visit to @Ancrehillestate Vineyard this week!🍇🍷Truly impressed by their commitment to eco-friendly practices and how #silicon is being used to improve production. Here's to a wine-derful time!🥂

*The Power of Silicon* Natures armour is silicon! Plants use it to create natural resilience to stress, deterring pest and pathogen attack. By spraying plant available silicon, we're giving our crops the ultimate shield.

Harness the Power of #Sirius 🌾 Resilience Reinvented! Sirius is here to enhance OSR resilience to help your #crops triumph over #slugs and #CSFB attack this autumn. Sirius delivers plant available silicon which fortifies the plant and boosts #naturalresilience.

Toughen Up! #Sirius delivers plant available silicon to crops, a #natural strengthener. It toughens & thickens the cuticle, enhances cell strength and increases leaf hair prominence. This increases the puncture resistance of a crop, reducing the attractiveness to autumn pests.

Rock-Solid Protection: Ever heard of plant 'stones'? Meet phytoliths! These microscopic ‘stones’ form on the leaf surface, acting as a #naturaldeterrent that insects find hard to chew. Applications of #Sirius have been shown to increase the number of phytoliths, so reduce damage.

Visit to Ginkgo Gardens who have some beautiful perennials on the go. Ginkgo focus on an IPM approach at the nursery, and that really showed in the number of pollinators and natural predators buzzing around us. #ornamentals #nursery #ipm #horticulture #siliconinhorticulture

Interesting article July's @VineyardMagGB on #SWD management by Laura Hadland. An IPM approach is vital for best results. Check out our data from EMR showing how silicon based biostimulant #RigelG can improve plant resilience to SWD. @Wine_GB 👉vineyardmagazine.co.uk/back-…👈

Definitely our most beautiful and best smelling trial to date! Rose rust is a tricky one, so increasing resilience and reducing infection rate is vital. #biostimulants #naturalresistance #roserust

#Silicon improves a plant’s physiological and chemical characteristics, including its defence mechanisms. It stimulates balanced nutrient uptake and improves quality. Check out our latest information on Rigel-G 👉bit.ly/Rigel-G2023👈 orionft.com #SWD

Spring rose growth is looking great, although the weather is playing havoc with timings for #chelseaflowershow and #aphids are out and about! #britishrose #siliconinhorticulture

A warm glasshouse is the perfect place to be on a cold snowy day. This Centenary crop will start picking at the end of the month, as long as we do actually see the sun between now and then! #siliconinhorticulture #britishgrown

It’s a bit breezy and damp in Suffolk today, but our wheat varietal trials are looking great. Due to genetic variation, different varieties will accumulate nutrients at variable rates. We have exciting data to share from this work, watch this space! #cropnutrition #britishfarming
