Massive congratulations to @SophiaGrannell for successfully defending her thesis this week. Our first CTP student @BBSRC @NIABEMR @berrygardensuk to cross the finish line 👍🥇🏆🎓

We are studying how rhizosphere of apple trees is affected by amendment with beneficial microbes at planting times and its effects on plant establishment and #fruitproduction. @NIABEMR is sampling rhizosphere for microbial profiling 18 months post-treatment. #planthealth #H2020

I’m looking for collaborators who can share data suitable for modelling #soil #biodiversity in horticultural systems as part of @excalibur_h2020. See poster for criteria & email me for details, all contributors will be offered co-authorship of the database. Please RT & share!

The big @The_RHS letters came in handy for a little rest after the penultimate day of #RHSTattonPark . @NIABEMR and @NHM_Science have had a busy 4 days chatting to lots of people about DNA, soil and fruit as part of @excalibur_h2020. If you're visiting tomorrow come and say hi!

How far does Neonectria ditissima get when it invades an apple pruning wound or leaf scar? #openaccess bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @BS_PP

@AnneJ_Romero @NIABEMR @SoCoBioDtp @XiangmingXu1 Great to have with you with us for the past couple of months, we'll be in touch soon. Best of luck with the PhD project!

@NIABEMR have recently set up a new trial with potted apple trees as part of the @excalibur_h2020 project. M9 rootstocks are sued to evaluate the effects of individual and combined soil amendments of different classes of beneficial microbes on tree establishment. #H2020 #Apple

A fully funded four PhD studentship opens to applicants of all nationalities: findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

"Come join us", that's the message from our current students Fully funded @BBSRC , industry linked #horticulture #fruit #PhDstudentships available @NIABEMR bit.ly/3slR6PO

Our colleagues @NIABEMR are looking at the use of beneficial fungi and bacteria in the establishment of replanted apple orchards🍏In Excalibur they will use a number of methods to assess differences in the soil communities at the root interface across time & between treatments.

We are excited to announce that we have new fully funded, industry focused #horticulture @BBSRC @NIABEMR #phdstudentships to start in 2021, closing date 8th Feb 2021. findaphd.com/phds/program/b…
