Great initiative from @niabgroup and just what @BBSRC should be funding. Mobilising useful traits from unadapted germplasm has been underfunded for far too long. Ideally, a long term publicly funded programme is needed to really benefit agriculture.
Niab will lead a new international wheat pre-breeding project to move promising genetic traits into elite European wheat lines, working with commercial breeders to accelerate variety development. #WheatBreeding #PlantBreeding

Our mash filter redefines whisky-making and is integral to our process.
It allows us to extract more flavour and work with unique grains like rye and winter barley, creating whisky with greater complexity and character.

❗️ Recordamos las recomendaciones para el manejo de trigo y cebada, atendiendo a reducir el riesgo de fusariosis de la espiga y piricularia. En especial, para aquellas chacras más atrasadas en estado fenológico y cercanas a floración.
🌾 Trigo y cebada: etapa clave y oportunidad de manejo para hacer la diferencia.
La combinación de lluvias frecuentes, mojado prolongado de hojas y espigas y temperaturas más cálidas pueden incrementar el riesgo de enfermedades, en especial fusariosis de la espiga y piricularia.
➡️Recomendamos: monitoreo + diagnóstico correcto + oportunidad de aplicación + cobertura eficiente.

That’s the last trial of the season planted. What a way to finish! -blue skies and a blue tractor. It’s a winter wheat trial for @AHDB_Cereals @CatherineHar4 @PaulGosling10 where wheat varieties from the UK Recommended List are exposed to high pressure from Septoria tritici here.

Really sad news. I enjoyed many productive discussions with Huw. He wasn't afraid to say what he thought and was an early pioneer of grower groups. It's great to see the development of @ScotAgCoOp over the past 41 years. RIP Huw - you were a great force and influence.

Rising aphid, gout fly and leafhopper pressure in cereal crops is increasing pressure to use insecticides, even on farms that have opted into the no insecticide payments in SFI schemes. While growers will be loath to spray, the economic consequences of not doing so need to be considered.

Differences in cereal phenology showing up @CharlesSturtUni site, interesting effects of timing and duration of flowering will be key to explaining yield differences this year! #phenologyisstillfun 🌾
