We are delighted to announce the launch of a new section in @FrontAgro: Agroecological Cropping Systems Led by @EricJustes, this section invites high-quality research on #agroecology and the management of innovative and #sustainable #croppingsystems ➡️fro.ntiers.in/acs

chilly day for soil sampling, but worth it for the data - guiding our calculations to optimise fertiliser inputs over the coming season.

Come and visit the CSC from the comfort of your armchair! This virtual tour is under development, but you can navigate around and find information on cropping, biodiversity, plant nutrients and soils arablescotland.org.uk/balrudderytour/
