In the pursuit of sustainable agriculture, farmers and policy makers are increasingly looking for innovative solutions to monitor and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions operations. With unprecedented geospatial density and low sampling costs, HiRes-Soils develops a robotic sensor platform to directly measure and sample soil carbon as well as CO2 and ...

Blackgrass is one of the most economically disastrous weeds in western Europe. Control of blackgrass has relied on the intensive use of herbicides. However, 80% of blackgrass-infested fields surveyed across England were resistant to all three major herbicide groups. Severe blackgrass infestations reduce yields by up to 12% (c. £300 per/ha) costing UK farm...

Rapid advances are being made in the world of agritech, which is itself driving demand for integrated electric hubs (e-hubs) to provide the speed, torque, efficiency and durability required. The project aims to drive the electric revolution by undertaking design for manufacture, integrating the motor, gearbox, brake and controller modules into a single un...

"The project focuses on the development of an environmentally sensitive mechanical weed control system for use across arable farms in the UK. This is to address the widespread issue of the Blackgrass weed within arable cropping land with a view to providing an alternative method of husbandry to spraying with herbicides. The objectives are to optimise crop...
