Making every seed count - Creating multifunctional regional seed mixtures for permanent grassland – A strategy for maintaining genetic diversity in commercially produced seed

1 Oct 2022 to 30 Sep 2023

Awarded
£7,707
Total cost £15,414

Farmers (and wider society) need more resilient species mixtures for their productive permanent grassland in order to reduce dependencies on regular ploughing and re-seeding and mineral fertiliser and herbicide inputs. Multi-species leys, which consist of several species of improved grasses, legumes and forage herbs, have demonstrated the improved resilie...

2015 Collaborative R&D

A novel pre-breeding strategy to reduce dependence on insecticides for virus yellows control in sugar beet

1 Apr 2015 to 31 Mar 2020

Awarded
£61,560
Total cost £123,120

Recent EU re...

Awarded
£8,300
Total cost £16,616

Grass yields currently achieved on-farm are less than half of the biological potential for the UK environment. One of the main reasons for low grass yields is the sub-optimal use of nitrogen (N) fertiliser and failure to account for spatial variation in N fertiliser demand within fields. Current methods of estimating fertiliser N requirements are complex ...
