Do you use or promote non-cropped field margins or strips on arable land? Do you think annual plant communities could be used effectively in these? We would love to hear your thoughts. Please follow the link below:

Last week marked the final sampling of my #phd project! It’s been a mad journey so far and I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already! Time does fly when you’re having fun!
Now to do this project justice with the writing!

We’ve made it to sunny Kyoto ready for @ice2024kyoto_jp !
Such a beautiful city! A tad warmer than the UK… 🥵 We’ve only dipped our toe in to exploring, but couldn’t be more grateful for such an incredible opportunity.

Fully funded PhD opportunity available. One week left to apply for these #agroecology opportunities.
Alternative forage for #biodiversity & animal health, strip cropping & autonomous vehicles, or using waste wool in #soil

I admit that the more I proceed with this study the more I'm getting passionate about that. Love it! :)
This third year of mixed inter cropping started better than the others, despite the late sowing.
Plants are doing well, so far so good!

I’ve been accepted to present my research at ICE2024 in Kyoto! 😱
Despite generous support we are still looking for organisation(s) to make this opportunity a reality.
Are you keen to financially support a budding PhD researcher in realising their dreams? Please drop me a DM!

After waiting for the rain to stop and the trial area to dry out enough before the next rain fell, I have finally sown the final trial of my PhD! @NicolaPRandall @DrJohnReade @H2020Cropdiva thank you to all the other students that helped to sow the trial today!

I'm looking to chat with those rearing dairy billy kids for meat in the UK for a possible research project. Currently only the idea stage but very interested in those rearing using pasture & possibly waste milk!
Any ideas/ chats/ interest around this topic appreciated - DM me!

Not sure that a game of lacewing larvae hide and seek is the normal way to spend your birthday… but what else would you expect from a @HAU_Entomology student? 😂🥳

Has lack of effective control for cabbage stem flea beetle 🪲 led you to give up on oilseed rape? Results of a new study suggest that nature-friendly solutions like companion cropping could help...
