🌾 The Three Sisters – maize, beans & squash – work together to naturally repel pests: Research shows they amplify each other's defenses. In our on-farm living labs, we are exploring optimal crop combos for different climates and soils. science.org/content/articl…

The Crops Research Unit’s new plot combine harvester will transform our crop research, introducing enhanced automation and data collection to its trials harvesting processes, giving students hands-on experience in utilising and its significance in agricultural management.

Looking forward to joining this event later this month LEGUMINOSE Project
