Amazing how fast Annie Buckley's polytunnel plants are growing! This is about a 3 week difference🌱

A time-lapse from this morning in Annie Buckley's polytunnel trial, using the ASD fieldspec to record leaf reflectance, for later analysis of a selection of reflectance indices 🌱☀️ BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences

This week I presented my poster at the 78th IIRB congress in Belgium 🇧🇪 I found it really valuable to discuss the current findings and future aspects of my project with other sugar beet researchers 🌱 BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences #IIRB2022

Giving the polytunnel plants plenty of water this morning before it gets too hot - we’re forecast up to 41°C here in Sutton Bonington this afternoon! 🥵 BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences

VACANCY: Field Trials Technician. BBRO are keen to recruit an enthusiastic new team member for their trials team. British Sugar NFU Sugar Harper Adams University UoN Beet Team FarmingForumSite bbro.co.uk/our-news-opini…

There was a seat on the ✈️ for Jakob Buchreiter but he didn’t turn up and now we are missing his translation skills.

Annie and Angharad presented their PhD research to colleagues at BASF in Limbergerhof on Thursday. UoN Beet Team BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences

This week saw Lucy Tillier harvest her canopy manipulation trial - the final trial of her PhD! We think she looks rather chuffed! UoNBiosciences UoN Beet Team

Today one of our PhD students Angharad Compton took part in the campus baking competition (SB Cake Off)! She went onto win the judges vote for her cake “a nightmare before exams 👻 ” - I heard it tasted pretty good too! 🧁

Revisiting our Enterprise Management Challenge plots today with BBRO_Beet's Mark Stevens . Interesting differences in weed and disease pressure between the groups. Now to calculate yield and gross margin. Thanks again to all our contributors @UPL_UK British Sugar

Cold day on Sutton Bonington campus! We have been wrapping up warm to continue collecting data this week in the field❄️

Checking our sugar beet trials for frost damage this week. Fortunately damage to the roots was very limited - not much canopy left though. BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences

We’re at BeetTech 23! Come and say hello and discuss our projects during the break 🌱 BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences #BeetTech23

#Beettech23 Shame PhD student Annie Buckley unable to attend today, but not one to miss out she kindly provided a voice over thanks Annie. ⁦UoN Beet Team⁩

#BeetTech23 Angharad Compton another PhD from ⁦⁦UoN Beet Team⁩ talks about disease management in sugar beet, interesting work. Watch out for me info to come ⁦British Sugar⁩ ⁦NFU Sugar⁩

The second paper from my PhD research has just been published. Thanks to Debbie Sparkes and @ErikMurchie for their guidance. Water use efficiency responses to fluctuating soil water availability in contrasting commercial sugar beet varieties frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Annie Buckley from UoN Beet Team has (almost) completed her 3 month placement with BASF Agricultural Solutions. Well done Annie on such a successful placement and welcome back to UoNBiosciences just in time for the new sugar beet season. BBRO_Beet UoNBioscienceCareers

Have I found the sugar beet equivalent of a four leaf clover? 🍀 Hopefully that’s good luck for this year’s field trials! 🌱 UoN Beet Team BBRO_Beet UoNBiosciences
