Now is the time to get ready to assess the impact of take-all in your 2nd, 3rd or continuous wheat crop and build a risk picture for next year’s crop. Take-all in wheat: causes, impact, and control Take-all is a destructive root disease of wheat caused by the soil-borne fungus Gaeumannomyces tritici. It [...]
Wholly K - A forgotten nutrient When it comes to crop nutrition, Potassium (K) is often underestimated, but it’s one of the most essential elements for supporting plant growth, resilience, and productivity. Think of Potassium as the fuel that powers the nitrogen-built engine of your crops. At every stage of the plant’s journey, [...]
BOFIN and Unium Bioscience held a webinar on 27th February 2025 exploring how plant genomics - studying gene expression and targeted biological solutions - are driving innovation. From advanced biostimulants to sustainable strategies for boosting crop resilience and productivity, attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge developments shaping modern farming. The UK has a leading [...]
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 [...]
