BeetCast April: Unpicking seedling diseases

With a little bit of rain, we will soon see the 2025 crop emerging from the field, but what if your crop appears to be struggling? Dr Suzannah Harder is at the beginning of a 3-year trial investigating seedling diseases and hopes to be able to provide a more comprehensive answer than 'black leg'.

 

Soil temperatures

Drilling into the right conditions is vital to getting the crop off to a good start. Our new weather stations are proving invaluable in helping us to determine what is happening in field.

PhD opportunity

Rare opportunity to undertake a sugar beet related PhD, based at the Earlham Institute, Norwich Research Park.
