Latest innovations in crop research presented by ADAS at 12th European Conference on Precision Agriculture
Our Crop Physiology team was in Montpellier last week to discuss the different innovative approaches to crop performance at the 12th European Conference on Precision Agriculture. The conference, held bi-annually, brings together innovators behind crop science from across Europe, North and South America, Australia and China to share ideas for the sustainable intensification of crop production.
Four research papers were published and presented including: “Variation across scales indicates that best progress in crop yields should come from farmer-centric research”, “Operating Farmer Innovation Groups (FIGs) for testing yield-enhancing ideas using on-farm experimentation”, “Understanding intra-field variation in N requirement for oilseed rape”,, and “A multi-disciplinary approach for the precision management of lodging risk”. Summaries can be found below. These papers, along with all the research presented at the conference, are available within the Precision agriculture ’19 conference book.
