Looking forward to a great day out talking all things Agritech at @Agri_Tech_E #Reap2022. From reducing fertilizer inputs to fitbits for cows! Interesting presentation from @AWS with the morning session hosted by @HillFT. #niab #agritech #horticulture #Agriculture
An increase in aged organic matter combined with overhead irrigation can have a noticeable effect on a mix's attractiveness to Sciarid Fly! Large larval populations can cause significant root damage increasing plant death and incidence of disease. #horticulture #IPM #peatfree
#NIAB is involved in #glasshouse #trials of peat-free growing media, providing customers with meaningful data. Here you can see a visual assessment of fungus gnat activity on sticky traps in one of these trials.
