Get Your Crops Right This Spring – Nutrition, Tech and Protection Tips

Crop resilience is a major talking point, but what does it really mean for this spring and the season ahead? How can farmers set crops up to deliver reliable, consistent results in a challenging growing year?

In this episode, we are joined by Agrii’s John Miles, Seed Technical Manager, Tom Land, National Fertiliser Manager, Jonathan Trotter, Technical Trials Manager, and Jody Littleford, Technical Manager at Combinable Crop Trials. Together, they discuss how varieties, nutrition, Biosolutions and fungicides, and the latest technology can be brought together to build stronger, more resilient crops from the outset.

Summary:

• Disease pressure is high, with new yellow rust races overcoming resistance - growers must stay proactive with protectant fungicide strategies. 
• Nutrition must be precise, using SMN tests and biomass assessments to avoid costly nitrogen mis‑applications.
• Tech tools like satellite imagery and variable‑rate nitrogen can improve decision‑making and input efficiency.
• Biostimulants, including endophytes and peptide elicitors, can strengthen plant health and bolster resilience but complement, don’t replace, core agronomy. 
• Overall resilience comes from measuring, monitoring, and staying ahead, combining nutrition, chemistry, tech, and field walking.
