Despite a rough season for sugar beet following drought, virus yellows and foliar disease outbreaks, an improvement in the weather means there is still potential to add yield.

The Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) has set out plans to explore the impact that different crop management practices and yields have on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Significant differences have been identified in the resistance of leading commercial oilseed rape varieties to cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) feeding.

A new global initiative which merits farmers for adopting regenerative agriculture techniques is in the pipeline.

With many oilseed rape crops forward and looking well, some form of PGR is likely to be appropriate this season, growers are being advised some form of PGR is likely to be appropriate this season, growers are being advised.

The number of frosts that a wheat crop sees each winter could help growers make smarter fungicide choices when it comes to yellow rust, a study has found.

A five-year project looking at the agronomic factors effecting septoria found that sowing date had more of an influence on disease levels than varietal resistance.
