Well done to Aoife and the Niab team
Worth a visit to @gareth_culligan and the wee county to share knowledge when you are next home 👍
Blown away by the wheat variety blend demo yesterday @niabgroup at how effectively the Yellow Rust has been slowed down in susceptible varieties like Zyatt.
Watch this space in Kenya for Stem Rust.
First pic is taken on the 15th may other 2 are from today S.Beans with companion oats and sunflowers. With companion crops and cover crops, this field has had 36 crops or 15 different species in 5 years. Rotation is the key to #conservationagriculture
Well worth the visit to learn from the experiences of one of the most innovative biological, regenerative & conservation agriculture farmers in the country
