Join Adrian James and Ana Reynolds from AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds alongside Joel Williams from Integrated Soils, to hear the latest results from the Strategic Cereal Farm network on how to understand and improve NUE. 

What the presentations will cover

  • Strategic Cereal Farm North: Kate Smith (ADAS) and David Blacker (host farmer) present the results of the drainage project, which investigates long-term investment in soil health and crop performance
  • Strategic Cereal Farm South: Elizabeth Stockdale (NIAB) and David Miller (host farmer) present the results of the alternative crop establishment project, which investigates the impact of biological soil amendments on soil health and crop establishment
  • Strategic Cereal Farm Scotland: Steve Hoad (SRUC) and David Aglen (host farmer) present the results of the optimising nitrogen application project, which compares foliar and granular nitrogen application to optimise nitrogen use efficiency

The presentations will be followed by a Q&A with participants.

BASIS and NRoSO points are available for this webinar.

Soil

Soil is an essential natural resource for all farmers. Over recent years many initiatives have sought to provide information and advice on soils and Soil Health, notably AHDB Great Soils. 

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is required annually by most crops (except pulses) to achieve yield and quality. Judging how much N to apply is a key part of nutrient management.

AHDB

We deliver transformational projects to drive productivity and boost farming and supply chain businesses. We want the industry to thrive in a rapidly changing world and continue to produce high quality food, maintain our beautiful landscape and leave a legacy for generations to come. 

Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)

Nitrogen Use Efficiency is a widely used term increasingly discussed across industry and between farmers. However it can mean different things to different people, and is best defined with care.

NCSPulse PEP
Soil Health

The intricate web of relationships between physical, chemical and biological soil components underpins crop and livestock health and productivity.

Crops

The major commodity crops in the UK are wheat, barley, oilseed rape, field beans, sugar beet and potatoes, but around half of agricultural land grows grass.   

Enhancing Crop Performance

Share information, knowledge, resources and experience on how we can improve crop perfomance (yield, quality and profitability) whilst reducing reliance on input, reducing impacts and improving environmental performance.
