Up and away with Bridgeway
Like much of the country, the biggest challenge in East Anglia at present is later-drilled winter crops that are in much need of a pick-me-up, says Frontier agronomist, Neil Leech.
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.
Like much of the country, the biggest challenge in East Anglia at present is later-drilled winter crops that are in much need of a pick-me-up, says Frontier agronomist, Neil Leech.
Keith Challen, farms director at Belvoir Farming Company, Leics, is heading into another season of using biostimulants, and says amino acid products will be more important than ever this year.
The subject of biostimulants is one of those that divides opinion. Work conducted by Deborah Green of CMI Ltd, shows that Bridgeway application to sugar beet produced significant yield responses in both 2018 and 2019.
With spring crops going into poor ground conditions, agronomist Greg Taylor will be recommending adjuvant Backrow this spring to improve herbicide coverage, improve retention and protect crop safety.
With everything resting on spring crops, agronomist James Grantham believes adjuvants Backrow and Kantor will help growers get the best out of their crops this season.
With an incredibly compressed workload, big passes to catchup on and some complex tank mixes on the horizon, Yorkshire-based agronomist Billy Hosdell will be recommending adjuvant Kantor to aid tank-mix compatibility and improve efficacy.
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.
