This inefficiency leads to environmental damage, rising costs, and regulatory changes, compounded by climate change. Improving N-use efficiency, such as through biologicals that aid uptake, is crucial. FA Bio will screen at lea...

Wheat is one of the most commercially important crops in the UK, but yield is greatly constrained by fungal diseases and insect pests.

This can cause large econo...
