Pilton Monitor Farm - Making 'Sense' of NUE - act on your weights and measures

Join us for a winter catchup and NUE related spring plans meeting with the Steanbow team. Hear from arable manager Alister, agronomist Adam North, Taylored Agri - showcasing the recently fitted Yara N-Sensor and Hutchinsons Foliar Nutrition and Biostimulant specialist Trevor Smith.

Regarding both novel foliar nutrition strategies and the timing and rate of more 'conventional' approaches there remains are large sentiment of many practitioners being somewhat 'wise after the event'. With margins being squeezed from seemingly every angle it has never been more important to try to increase our understanding of what to apply, how and when. How can technology and new approaches assist us in the endeavorer of truly (financially and environmentally) optimised nutrition?

Specifically, what is providing the best guidance re timing and rate, how can we test this? All will be discussed with a view to finalising what we look to measure (and how) over the coming growing season - potentially using the full suite of options from the cab mounted NIRS, satellite scans, drone over flights and tissue testing methodologies.

A light buffet lunch will conclude the meeting.

Please bring suitable footwear and clothing for some outside discussion around the machinery.

BASIS and NRoSO points will be available.
