We have a wide range of Crop Protection Solutions to help optimise plant health.
Take a look at some of our case studies below to see how we’ve helped.
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 Nichino UK’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.
For grower Mike Dagg of Crailing Tofts near Kelso in Roxburghsire, there’s no doubt Crusade has an important place in the blight control programme.
Hutchinsons Agronomist Sally Morris observed an uplift in yield where Bridgeway was applied to tramlines in Wheat.
For Keith Challen at Belvoir Farming Company, Zonda offers a valuable insurance policy to help protect the genetic yield potential of crops.
For one Agronomist, Bridgeway was the last resort to save a dying crop of sugar beet damaged by a herbicide contaminated spray tank. That crop went on to produce larger beet that weighed in 16% heavier than the undamaged beet in the rest of the field, with the same sugar levels.
