The project is led by University of Nottingham and is a collaboration between Rothamsted, University of Zimbabwe, and the Department of Research and Specialist Services (DR&SS) under the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development for Harare, Zimbabwe and Integral Kumusha.
Field work is in full swing at Rothamsted!
Watch Dr Patrick Lehr and our Scanalyzer team up to phenotype this field of wheat - in hopes of learning more about nutrient use efficiency.
The team from Rothamsted, CABI, John Innes Centre, James Hutton Institute, The Scottish Rural Agricultural College used the UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank, the world's first open crop and soil microbiome resource, to characterise more than 24,000 bacterial cultures and 315 soil microbiome libraries.
We had a fantastic time speaking to farmers at #Cereals2026! Not only did we get to share our latest research, but also hear from farmers about the issues that matter to them.
