At this point I jump in to get involved with Laura Crook out. It’s not just all about carrots for me! #clubhectare New Scientist Live #NSLive2019 Farmers Weekly #BlackGrass #Weeds #SciComm New Scientist Live

The groundbreaking science bit comes next, so now Laura Crook explains how Rothamsted scientists like Dr Helen Metcalfe | she/her, Richard Hull, Lieselot Nguyen, Claudia Lowe, @PaulNeve10 @plantenv etc work on understanding resistance


And we’re off CropTecShow 🌾 2029!Drop by our stand and meet our crop protection experts. BASiS points available.


Join Dr Sarah Cook who will be discussing keeping up with changing herbicide dynamics at the Crop Protection Seminar at 1.30pm at CropTecShow 🌾 today! Don't miss out! #CropTec19

Big concern among Donegal cereal growers about the risk of blackgrass seeds in imported straw from infected areas in the south. Teagasc FJ Tillage Jimmy Staples




Research by Rothamsted Research has put a figure on the cost of herbicide resistance in black grass. In total, ‘Western Europe’s most economically significant weed’ costs the UK nearly £400m and 800,000 tonnes of lost harvest every year. #IYPH2020 (Thread)


I second this. Huge thanks to the Rothamsted Research glasshouse staff for keeping our plants going through lockdown. Means more #blackgrass research to come 👍🏻

Back to the field where it all began 7 years ago with Richard Hull and David Comont Great day for #blackgrass mapping. Rothamsted Research BGRI #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #farming #heatwave

Human waste has become an unlikely essential tool for understanding the coronavirus - in fact, a Natural Environment Research Council project has led to a national surveillance system of sewage to detect outbreaks. Find out more here: orlo.uk/8pFrx #TacklingCoronavirus #WeAreUKRI


No evidence has been found that blackgrass is resistant to glyphosate, BUT diff populations respond differently. High levels of glyphosate use is, however, causing a loss of sensitivity - continued use could open the door to resistance. Rothamsted Research David Comont
