A lot of comments coming from agronomists and farmers once again about how much better @omexag liquid works than granular fert in dry conditions. This just in from our silage strip trials in Cheshire - OMEX right, solid left, just before second cut

The @OMEXAgriculture trials team were out bright and early this morning in Yorkshire crop surveying with the new drone

The trials team test flew the new drone today. Very easy to pick out the no nitrogen plots in this winter wheat trial

This trial is looking at biostimulant use in mustard. Having an in-house trials team means we can do work in less widely grown crops too

One of our two large plot trials in wheat testing different inhibitors with nitrogen applications, aiming to reduce on-farm losses from fertiliser use

My favourite time of year. The greenhouse starting to fill up, field trials starting, lots of experiments on the go and new discoveries to be made.

Testing additives to fertiliser through a real sprayer induction hopper would be too wasteful so here’s our self built scale model in the lab

A very clear, although unwelcome illustration of the precision accuracy of liquid N application
Liquid N turned off too soon on winter barley but you can see it works @LukeT724 #agronomydogs gave the operator 7/10 for precision #arableireland

These two arrived in the post together today. The end is nigh!

All ready to learn what’s new in potatoes at the CUPGRA conference in Cambridge. I’m chairing the potato nutrition presentations tomorrow

The real benefits of biostimulants in crop programmes are continually discredited by legions of grifters selling their wares with overblown and unproven claims. The notion that a few litres of angel dust can substitute for fertilisers by replenishing crop offtakes is absurd

Worlds longest-running agricultural experiments shows that long-term fertiliser use boosts soil carbon - so much for "fertilisers damage soil health" rothamsted.ac.uk/news/fertil…

No job for an old man! Last @OMEXCompanies potato trials dig of the season done and dusted

Why the emphasis on "soil biodiversity" when proof is lacking? "The presence of individual species, rather than diversity per se, determined the soil binding capacity of the system" doi.org/10.1016/j.iswcr.2025…

At least we picked a good morning to harvest the @OMEXCompanies potato trial plots in North Norfolk

After a couple of months on the bench followiung a random low iron test, we are back in the game. Off goes donation #123. @GiveBloodNHS

UAN on grassland shown to have lower N2O emissions than CAN, and the addition of nitrification inhibitors bring further reductions and agronomic benefits. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

“These study results suggest that fertiliser N source and the use of NIs are effective tools for reducing N2O emissions while improving yields and N utilisation”.

Thinking of precision liquid application on your planted or seed drill? The new Farming Equipment and Technology Fund can help with up to 40% of the cost
