Tired of biologicals that only perform in perfect conditions?

GainsBio is looking for two farms across England to trial a genuinely different approach to microbial seed treatments. Instead of generic strains tested in greenhouses, we've evolved bacteria to survive and perform in the toughest UK field conditions - drought-prone sands, heavy clays, saline and acidic soils.

The ADAS Agronomics approach for tramline trials enables simple but scientifically valid on-farm testing, using statistical analysis of yield maps or other spatial data.

I am seeking partners to co-develop an ADOPT Farming Innovation project focused on the adoption-ready improvement of nutrient management, soil health, and environmental performance in horticultural and perennial cropping systems.

I do not have a single predefined project concept; instead, I am keen to co-design a farmer-led innovation that addresses real production challenges and can be demonstrated, evaluated, and scaled through the ADOPT programme.

Getting irrigation decisions right can help improve yields and save precious water. We are looking at technologies and systems that can help estimate water demand from variable soils, crops and rainfall across the farm, with better management on a run by run basis.

The benefits of composting on-farm rather than directly using manure are increasingly being talked about. But the composting process can be labour intensive and require substantial investment in specialist kit. This project aims to test a static on-farm set-up for modular aerated composting.

Hi, I am Vongai Chekanai, a Senior Research Technician at the University of Warwick. My expertise includes isolation and identification of fungal pathogens and nematodes from plants and soils, host plant resistance screening for fungal pathogens and/or plant parasitic nematodes, and conducting fungicide/nematicide efficacy assays. Soil monitoring or plant parasitic or beneficial nematodes in response to management interventions

We are looking to explore the value of benchmarking crop metrics building from the approach of the Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) to help understand and improve crop performance through farm-by-farm and field-by-field comparisons over years and in real-time.  The project will test how satellite-derived crop metrics, linked with farm business data, can give farmers clearer insight into how crops are performing across seasons and between farms. The aim is to identify opportunities for strategic improvement early enough to take action during the growing season.

Connecting farmers who are interested in measuring with technology that makes it easier

Simon Cowell is a pioneer of no-till arable farming, based in Essex on clay loam soils he has been direct drilling fields for 20 years. Over that time soil health has improved dramatically across a wide range of measures, but yields are limited. This project will explore various observations that Simon has made in order to identify and understand those limitations, and test practices to increase yields. 

We were unsuccessful in our first application, as what we want to do falls between research and practice. We're now interested to hear how we could take this forward as a re-submission or seek alternative funding sources. We have three leading award-winning farmers on-board, and good connections with researchers.
