In a challenging year for trials, we’re speaking with @AdasBlake from @ADASGroup to explore lessons from this season’s #Indiflin trial results. Our new fungicide, currently going through registration, shows particularly strong performance against rusts.

Thanks for your hard work for #NIAB over the last 13 or so years @WeedSciJohn and good luck for the future. Here's a couple of photos from this year's events to remember us by!
Well it's actually happening. After 13+ years at NIAB I'm leaving at the end of the week to join my new @weedwiseuk colleagues at ADAS.
Wanted to thank my erstwhile @niabgroup colleagues who I've so enjoyed working alongside.
