We’ve been helping farmers with their agronomic challenges for 25 years.
Take a look at some of our case studies below to see how we’ve helped.
Agronomist Stuart McDowall, based in North Lincs, will be looking to adjuvant Backrow this spring for it’s crop safety, environmental and weed control benefits.
With an exacerbated workload and saturated soils, agronomist John Mason will be looking to Backrow to optimise annual meadow-grass control by helping to retain pre-emergence herbicides in the top 5cm of the soil.
Despite developing grass challenges on the Scottish borders, agronomist Greig Baird from Agrii has seen encouraging results adding our Backrow adjuvant to the pre-emergence mix.
Agrii agronomist, Matthew Clark, believes the addition of adjuvant Backrow to the residual mix of herbicides has an important role to play in improving herbicide performance.
As chemical efficacy declines, the threat of disease and pests to UK growers is on the rise. However, Todd Jex, agronomist at Agrii, believes that using biostimulants to boost plant health could help alleviate some of the pressures.
With dry conditions pointing towards a similar drought as experienced in 2018, Velcourt independent agronomist Kieran Walsh says biostimulants could help keep wheat protein levels up, despite drought stress.
Last year was the first time Frontier agronomist, Steven Penrice, experimented with biostimulants. But after it proved to keep crops growing, – despite the severe growing conditions of 2018 – he’s including Bridgeway in trials once again this year.
Following the loss of key crop protection chemistry like Chlorothalonil, Agrii agronomist Ed Scaman believes that there will be a greater focus on plant health. In trials, biostimulants have proven benefits to both yield and overall crop health, so could they fill the void?
Neil Cairns is crop production manager for the largescale South Coast vegetable grower Barfoots of Botley. He has three years’ experience of using Interagro’s Bridgeway biostimulant on organic crops.
Despite a challenging few years in terms of growing conditions, Keith Challen, director at Belvoir Farms, Leicestershire has seen decent crop results thanks to the use of biostimulants, which next year he plans to use on every acre.
Frontier agronomist Neil Leech believes Bridgeway can lift cereal yield across his area of Suffolk and South Norfolk, which ranges from light Breckland soils to heavy clays.
Agronomist Kieran Walsh has invested a lot of time to better understand how, why and when biostimulants should or could help deliver the most benefit to the crop.
