#Groundswell25 was fantastic! 🫚 Annual date with a chicory #taproot in the #soil pit @ADASGroup stand. 🫘 Beans & pulses talk: Cultural acceptance, school meals, diversity, price, risk on farm & connecting breeders and producers. Highlight, was meeting so many lovely people.

Off the back of our lovely Legumes meeting at the University of Reading earlier this month we are happy to announce this special issue of Annals of Applied Biology! 🫘 All you keen beans - get writing!

Yesterday at the @AHDB_Cereals strategic Farm North open day. We dodged showers and learnt about the #drainage, #earthworm and #nutrition trials. Still smiling at the end of the day! #onfarmresearch @Cliveblacker @anne_bhogal @blacker_david

Celebration #lemondrizzle birthday cake for my eldest who is now 8! How did that happen?!

#summer #insetday in the sunshine. #Attenborough #naturereserve followed by garden #waterplay and the little #paddlingpool lovely.

☔ The rainout shelters (aka polytunnels) are up in the @Root2Res @adasgroup.bsky.social #fababean trial. Imposing a late #drought to see how well the different varieties #root and take up #water

Captivating visitor in our garden this morning. Spotted while I was taking a moment of stillness with a cup of tea on the last day of half-term.

Interesting discussion on #root #ideotypes and #plasticity from the #Root2Res project. youtu.be/_VlmB0sq8Ds?...

A beautiful day to visit the @Root2Res #faba trial in Yorkshire. #shovelomics #root assessment started today. @adasgroup.bsky.social

Starting our big summer screen 2025 to see if in-field measured #roots phenotypes are reproducible in lab #translationalscience #barley @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social pot in soil and pouch growth assays, tracking #roothairs, #seminalroot #rootangle etc
