🌱 37 wheat varieties on trial at our new Burton Leonard demonstration site in North Yorkshire!
We’ll be assessing variety performance throughout the season, building knowledge to support locally relevant agronomy advice.
📅 We’ll also be welcoming growers to the site for an open day in June 2027, with the opportunity to discuss the varieties with our experts.

Two weeks between pictures. And seeing good effect from an application of Centurion max. As part 2/3 of a control strategy.
Backed up by a true water conditioner for DSUK we are making the most of our options.

Our agronomists have been out carrying out PCN soil sampling using FieldSense.
An important step in identifying potential risks and supporting informed decisions about future potato cropping.
Planning your next potato crop? Speak to your ProCam agronomist about PCN sampling.

Mid October and it was 22 degrees today.
Autumn moves on. Fingers crossed for rain.
WOSR looks well where it’s had rain.
Sugar beet coming out and looking promising. With wheat going in directly behind. Lovely.

Hidden Water Hardness Could Be Holding Back Your Sprays
Your water may look clear, but calcium and magnesium ions can bind active ingredients before they reach the leaf.
Even small reductions in uptake quietly reduce control and increase resistance risk.
Check your water and condition before spraying - where needed - to protect every pass.
