#Groundswell25 was fantastic! 🫚 Annual date with a chicory #taproot in the #soil pit @ADASGroup stand. 🫘 Beans & pulses talk: Cultural acceptance, school meals, diversity, price, risk on farm & connecting breeders and producers. Highlight, was meeting so many lovely people.
I'm looking forward to #groundswell25 tomorrow. Lots of opportunities to learn, connect and enjoy the atmosphere. Come and say hi and see the soil beneath your feet.
It's tomorrow @Groundswellaguk!🥳 Find us in the Demo Field at our soil pit with @Soil_Science. Our soils, crop physiology, crop pathology & weed science teams will be there tomorrow, ready to field your questions. We're also on the BASIS Knowledge Trail ⬅️ See you there! 👋

Captivating visitor in our garden this morning. Spotted while I was taking a moment of stillness with a cup of tea on the last day of half-term.
Interesting discussion on #root #ideotypes and #plasticity from the Root2Res project. Worth a listen.
🚨 Root2Res Podcast – Episode 2 is live! We explore how #RootIdeotypes and #Plasticity can work together to improve #CropResilience under climate stress. 🔹 Doris Vetterlein from #UFZ 🔹 Pete Berry from @ADASGroup 🎙️ Laura Kemper from #FiBL 🎧 youtu.be/_VlmB0sq8Ds?si…
A beautiful day to visit the @Root2Res #faba trial in Yorkshire. #shovelomics #root assessment started today. @ADAS_Mowthorpe
2025 @Root2Res Faba shovelomics with the @PlantEcoHutton team has kicked off, we'll be taking some #rhizosphere soil and #roots back to our lab @Soilmicrobio for nutrient cycling and microbial community analysis 🫘 🧬 always great to work with this crew.
🎬 Check out our video! Sampling #RootExudates and #RhizosphereSoil from the same plant is a significant challenge. In this video, we explain how to sample both efficiently, without damaging the plant's #RootSystem. 🌿✨ 🎥 youtu.be/Rkif6BbJmGc?si…
