In collaboration with BOFIN this webinar will examine how the world of plant genomics is shaping modern farming Thursday 27th February Farmers have the chance to explore the fascinating world of genomics with the help of an expert panel of leading crop specialists and researchers alongside agroecology consultant Ben Taylor-Davies at a free [...]
Introducing Phos Power – our new phosphorus soil assessment tool Environmental conditions play a significant role in determining the availability of phosphorus (P) to plants. As an essential macronutrient, phosphorus is crucial for energy transfer, root development, and flowering. However, phosphorus often exists in forms that are not readily accessible to plants, and [...]
Introduction A Cambridgeshire-based project is testing natural flood mitigation strategies to benefit the local area which is historically prone to flooding. This project catchment spans over 85 square kilometres, covering two significant watercourses - Alconbury Brook and Milebrook. Involving a collaboration with local farmers and volunteers, it focuses on natural flood management and [...]
Could including a biostimulant seed treatment when sowing cover crops be the key to better establishment and increased soil health gains? CPM accesses the latest trial results to find out more. By Janine Adamson and Rob Jones Click here to download the full article (.pdf) “Regardless of [...]
To celebrate the launch of its new biological seed treatment, Unium Bioscience hosted an educational evening on endophytes in collaboration with BOFIN. In this webinar you’ll hear from leading experts in endophyte research; Prof James F White, who discovered the rhizophagy cycle, and Prof Sharon Doty, who discovered endophytes that fix nitrogen and sequester [...]
At Unium, we’ve been very proud of the performance of TIROS which established itself as the leading biological seed treatment in the UK within two years of its launch in 2020. To be able to say TIROS Max is even better, raising the bar in terms of its field performance, ease of handling and [...]
It’s fair to say that the 2024 season is proving to be memorable in all the wrong sorts of ways. Although the weather is always beyond our control, creating crops and soils that are more resilient to challenging conditions is within our grasp. Understanding of not just the composition of soil biology, but the [...]
Press Release 4th June 2024 by Lucy de la Pasture A new generation of biological seed treatment has been launched by Unium Bioscience and promises to deliver performance over the seed treatment it supersedes. Building on the reliable performance of TIROS, Unium has developed a unique, advanced formulation of endophytes which supports [...]
