Tomorrow we celebrate the International #PlantHealthDay! 🌱💚 🌱What’s in a bag of seed? Farmers don't want to gamble on seed quality. Plant varieties must meet the #DUS criteria (Distinctiveness, Uniformity, and Stability). DUS tests generate the description of a variety detailing its relevant characteristics. #GrowingTheFuture #PRM

@audlemagronpaul Plenty of aphids here in Ireland too. Thankfully seeing a huge rise in ladybirds just in time! This snap was taken today in a BYDV tolerant 2-row called ORCADE - it got no pyrethroid in autumn.

I just needed a pair of ladybirds to charge in to this frame like the cavalry to complete the picture #IPM #notil

Can see your two at this soon enough Sam!! @ArableSam

Score updates in association with Templetuohy Foods Tailteann Cup Round 1 Full time Tipperary : 0-17(17) Sligo: 1-12(15) Well done lads - fantastic victory

I don’t post often, but watching all these farmers with huge planters, huge new tractors, guidance, monitors for everything. Amazing I survived with a 1066, 7000 series 6 row. No monitor, just my finger now and then making sure I was planting. 440 acres on $2 corn. And made money. Even a cabin at the lake. Okoboji.

Nice even crop of @seedtechnology KWS TAYO. Sept drilled, first spray on 20th March due to wet conditions and the fear of slugs in October. So far has had a weed spray + pgr fb pgr + fungicide. Watching for brown rust but none visible yet. Nice crop to have in 2026.

T2 on hybrid Kingsbarn, the same date as 2025. T2 on some wheat getting close, definitely earlier than last year (May 18th).

A busy weekend ahead with our Minor hurlers and all three Football teams in action. Best of luck to everyone involved.

@ArableSam @RobertMilne4 Can be BYDV and or stress. We see bydv in our trials in all the varieties (tolerant or not). pyrethroid treated plots have significantly less yellow so assume this is BYDV. Saw it in 2019 and 2022 also - in those years BYDV tolerant varieties out-performed

@RobertMilne4 @Tim_Seedtech Could be bydv symptoms as tolerant varieties can show that

@cutlerstom @KWSUKLtd Don’t say that! Here’s a picture of the difference between pod shatter & non-pod shatter trait varieties from a couple of years ago when we had a hail storm go through!

Class when it mattered most 👏 In the aftermath of Round 1 of the Munster Hurling Championship, a young Cork supporter ends up on the ground after an accidental collision with a Cork player. Cork Players move on But one man doesn’t. Four-time All-Ireland winner Noel McGrath is first over, making sure the young lad is okay. No fuss. No spotlight. Just instinct. That’s what leadership looks like. That’s what respect for the game looks like. Class, as always. 💙💛
