In a challenging year for trials, we’re speaking with @AdasBlake from @ADASGroup to explore lessons from this season’s #Indiflin trial results. Our new fungicide, currently going through registration, shows particularly strong performance against rusts. #NewFungicide #SumitomoChemical

Significant gouting of primary and secondary tillers in Oct sown wheats in Herefordshire this year, the period of risk seems to get later each year.

@arableadvisor, AICC president Patrick Stephenson, speaking all things barley fungicides at #AICC25 along with the expert panel of @AdasBlake Jonathan Blake, @niabgroup Dr Aoife O'Driscoll and AICCs own Marion Self from @Prime_Ag06 #independent #AICC

⚠️ First case of glyphosate resistant Italian ryegrass confirmed in the UK 🌿 ADAS scientists @weedwiseuk have identified a single field population of #ItalianRyegrass (Lolium multiflorum) in Kent resistant to glyphosate at the field label rate ⬇️ adas.co.uk/news/first-cas…

"It worked last year so I'll do it again this year"❌- a big mistake when it comes to crop disease control says @AdasBlake Hear independent research @AHDB_Cereals #Agronomy conference Weds 11 Dec, & learn how to adapt to what's happening in the field 🌾🌾ahdb.org.uk/events/agronom…

@russbmckenzie @Jes_Squirrell @PeterCowlrick @niabgroup We’re constantly in need of new approaches in disease management, if biological products that can help - fantastic! sound independent testing, farm try outs (and open minds!) - all part of separating the wheat from the chaff!

@Jes_Squirrell @PeterCowlrick @AdasBlake @niabgroup The stuff in this trial I think is a lot different to what you would be seeing in a NIAB trial.

Crop protection with biological agents with no affect upon yield? A glimpse of the future maybe. Food for thought@CropTecShow this morning.

Have you registered for the online @AHDB_Cereals Agronomy Conference Weds 11 December? 💻 @AdasBlake will review the 2024 growing season - 'a biblical year' for crop disease - & share how different #fungicides performed under the pressure 🌾🔍 Join us @ ahdb.org.uk/events/agronom…

2025-6 student placements now being advertised at ADAS! Placements have played a key role in my career so far, giving lots of experience in different settings and learning new things, so I highly recommend, and there's plenty to get involved with at ADAS🌱 adas.current-vacancies.com/Jobs/Advert/36…

To all budding applied entomologists, there's a vacancy at ADAS (which is a very good place to work) - adas.current-vacancies.com/Jobs/Advert/36…
