Projects
Produce a farmers guide on cover crops species selection, establishment, and termination
1 Sep 2022 to 31 Aug 2023
Cover crops are cornerstones of future farming policy and critical components of emerging 'regenerative agriculture' approaches that promise co-delivery of natural capital and human nutrition. While they can deliver multiple agronomic and environmental benefits, from increasing yields by building soil health and resilience to reducing on-farm emissions/in...
SHiFT: ¬Sentinel-2 -compatible Historical datasets for Future crop Targeting
1 Oct 2016 to 30 Sep 2017
The project will investigate the use of archive satellite imagery to predict spatial variability within arable fields. Many applications of precision agriculture use current satellite imagery to provide guidance on localised management operations, for example application of Nitrogen fertiliser, but assumptions have to be made about the causes of spatial v...
Feasibility study to develop technology for predicting wheat yield
1 Feb 2016 to 31 Jan 2018
The collaborative project between Selex ES and Frontier Agriculture will test the feasibility of developing new technology for predicting wheat yield using a wide range of data including; remotely sensed information describing the crop and soil. The project is highly innovative as it seeks to produce the first commercially viable yield prediction service ...
CAPSEED - A New Seed Conditioning Process for Aarable and Horticultural Crops
1 Jul 2015 to 31 Dec 2016
The objective is to determine whether plasma treatments, particularly those using cold atmospheric plasma, can improve the health and quality of crops by improving seedling emergence, vigour, disease control, as well as biochemical reactivity. If successful, this would lead to healthier crops whilst reducing the chemical burden on the environment. Manipul...
Molecular diagnostic soil testing platform as a decision making tool for agronomists
1 May 2015 to 31 Oct 2018
This project will generate a rapid diagnostic instrument for the detection of soil-borne pathogens. The instrument will eventually be able to test for a range of economically important diseases of animal and plants but the initial proof of principle will be the detection of Verticillium longisporum. The disease verticillium wilt has spread to the UK and c...
Optimised Detection and Control of Potato Blight: Sensing Pathogens to Inform Smart Spray Decisions
1 Apr 2015 to 30 Sep 2018
The maintenance of global food security, mediated by sustainable intensification of agriculture, is a recognised global issue and the effective management of plant disease is critical to productive cropping of agricultural land. Potato is the third most important food crop globally, with late blight control being a major challenge estimated to cost £3.5bi...
Novel computer vision techniques for food quality analysis - identification of Bruchus rufimanus (bean seed beetle) damage in field beans (Vicia faba) for export for human consumption
1 Oct 2013 to 30 Sep 2014
The project will aim to analyse field bean produce for human consumption for the the presence of adult Bruchus rufimanus (bean seed beetle) and larval damage. The study will review, test and develop computer state of the art vision algorithms suitable for detecting, selecting and classifying the beans most effectively. A methodology/demonstrator will be p...
A novel monitoring and forecasting system for the integrated management of bean seed beetle Bruchus rufimanus
1 Oct 2010 to 30 Nov 2014
To enable improved control of the bean seed beetle, the project will develop a novel integrated pest management (IPM) strategy based on a monitoring system and defined treatment thresholds to rationalise pesticide use, and will represent a more sustainable longer-term approach to allow continuity of supply of high quality field beans for the UK export mar...
