ADAS Webinar: Optimising crop nutrition through in-season ‘checks’ and ‘adjustments’

Tuesday, Apr 01 – 8:30am – 9:30am

Crop nutrition management requires urgent transformation to reduce costs and pollution, and secure future food production. The NUTRI-CHECK NET project has developed a three-step checking approach to support farmers in ‘checking’ their crops’ nutritional performance – ‘Plan, Check & Adjust, Review’

In this webinar, ADAS Crop Physiologists Sarah Kendall and Kate Storer will :

1. Give an overview of the ‘Plan, Check & Adjust, Review’ approach
2. Provide guidance on the use of checks this season and how farms can make adjustments to their nutrient applications
3. Explain how measuring and monitoring crops can aid in making the most informed decisions, particularly focussing on nitrogen and sulphur management in winter wheat crops
4. Introduce a range of tools and technologies that are available to farmers and advisors to support these checks

Sarah and Kate will be joined by farmers Andrew Williamson (Shropshire) and David Aglen (Fife). Andrew and David will share their crop nutrition strategies and experiences in a Q&A session.

BASIS and NRoSO points are also available.
