The rock star of soil science @microbass1 leading a grand #glyphospate debate 😎 fascinating stuff @Rothamsted @groundswellaguk #soils #soil #farming #SustainableAgriculture

📻ICYMI catch @microbass1 talking with @CharlottebSmith about soils and regen farming ahead of this week's @Groundswellaguk on @BBCFarmingToday bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

📺ICYMI - Webinar: From Soil to Shelf – Closing the Knowledge Gap in Regenerative Farming with Rothamsted's @microbass1 plus @SoilAssociation @sixinchessoil @wildfarmed Chaired by @Vyprco youtu.be/BDF0uXNSgAQ?si… via @YouTube

@cat_frampton Well done Cat, that's a very important piece of work you did there

thetimes.com/uk/environment… Finally, I’m in the papers, and not for doing something dodgy! (Yes probably paywalled, but one small glance at my feed will show you the issue) I cannot believe my 15 seconds of fame is me trying to tell the government that ‘rock is not peat’!

Hear from @kelly_jowett about the importance of carabid beetles on farms and her mission to encourage more of them into the fields... Find out more: youtube.com/watch?v=xuD0h4… #InternationalDayForBiologicalDiversity #beetles #farming

Our Herbal Ley Establishment & Management Course, in collaboration with the knowledgable team at @CotswoldSeeds is a great way to get to grips with how, why & when to plant herbal leys. 🌱 Herbal Ley Establishment & Management - Wednesday, 16th July 🌱 farm-ed.co.uk/events/149/her…

I had a fun time discussing our @Rothamsted research into biology in dynamic soil systems with Andrew and Ed. Challenging questions, and i got to talk about my other passion, too. Please dip in to their Farming 4.0 back issues too. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/epi…

@blackgull I think of all the things we struggle to communicate about farming and the environment @blackgull, it's the trade-offs that we really need to raise awareness of

the judicious use of herbicides – integral to most regenerative agriculture practices

I have had a fantastic day sharing a Regen pizza base from @TheGreenFarmCo1 with great friends Andy Neil and Claire Mackenzie @sixinchessoil with the approval from a fantastic chef of regenerative flour food is life 👍

Looking forward to discussing what regenerative agriculture has to offer soil health at #IFE25 tomorrow. See you there? invt.io/1txbznoghut @Rothamsted soil science

@agronomistag I'd already worked out the OP was incorrect

What surprises me (not sure why at this point) is that 50K people saw his post, one asked for references, and a couple others noticed that the references did not support his statements. Confirmation bias is social media's superpower.

According to the links he provided, Sam is wrong here.

@bleating_lamb @samdknowlton @parker419 Yes, we did see rapid glyphosate disappearance. But there's more to do and we haven't published the work yet

@samdknowlton Didn’t the work that @microbass1 & @parker419 did on glyphosate applications on cover crop destruction indicate that the half life was significantly shorter in those circumstances.

Glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide, is unequivocally linked to higher crop disease severity. Research shows this isn’t coincidental—it’s tied to biochemical and ecological shifts in herbicide-treated fields. Here's how it works:
