Foliar Feeding- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) - Emerald Research Foliar fertilisation, it is an alternative method of delivering fertiliser and nutrients through the plants roots- here are the top eight questions FAQ's

A lot of our research focuses on developing foliar nutrients that :
🌱Have high NUE
🌱Single dose formulations
🌱Rain fast in 30 mins
🌱Very low scorch risk

Wireworm control project
The project will evaluate several soil improvers, rich in prebiotic polysaccharides and other naturally occurring, environmentally safe biochemicals, which have initially shown positive results.

A new approach to regulating biopesticides - Emerald Research Emerald Research launches campaign to modernise regulation of biopesticides

See our latest blog 'A new approach to regulating biopesticides' by clicking here bit.ly/3FyPQDS

5 Reasons why UK Biopesticides regulation needs modernising:
1) Removing synthetic chemical products from the food chain
2) Reduced environmental pollution
3) Increased sustainability
4) Improved crop resilience
5) Grow the UK bio-chemical market

In last week’s
@farmersweeklyuk.bsky.social, our Board Adviser George Eustice set out the case for the modernisation of the regulatory regime governing biopesticides to enable new biological products to make it to market.

It was a busy week last week, our agronomist attended Dyson Farming Research growers group meeting in Nocton.

The TRIP Trial results were part of the discussions that took place.

Planning is well underway for the TRIP 25 trials.

We have teamed up with Mercian the UK’s largest crisping potato supplier and their growers to run field scale trials of the OptiYield system of
🌱soil analysis
🌱crop recommendations
🌱bioactive products.

It kicked off on Tuesday at our launch meeting.

Research is a fundamental part of what we do (clue is in the name)

Take a look at the projects we have had and those we currently working on bit.ly/48pfTXD

Recently we won @innovateuk funding for a #wireworm control project in conjunction with a grower in the S West

The role of microbes in a soil’s ecosystem is well established, along with a clear understanding of their beneficial role in enhancing crop production.

The best formulations to use are combinations of native microbial species because they are adapted to UK soil & environment.

At Emerald Research we are heavily committed to R&D and are especially focused on developing a first-class understanding of crop nutrition and crop growth developed through laboratory research and field crop trials.
