Been a tricky season, looking forward to having @IntegratedSoils on farm in Scotland for some practical discussion. Some interesting trials applying nufol foliar in its neat form. #gamechanger
With the help of some fabulous host farms, I'll be speaking at 6 field days on #FoliarNitrogen in the UK, Ireland and Sweden this June/July. I will cover the principles and we will go explore the practice with our host farmers. All details below:
