Milder autumns and early drilling could extend aphid activity, increasing the risk of barley yellow dwarf virus. Ash Ellwood looks at spray timing and the role of resistant varieties in protecting yield

With dry soils creating challenges for crop establishment, growers must balance moisture conservation, seed placement and establishment costs. We explore how one Worcestershire farmer is adapting his drilling approach this autumn

Four agronomists assess autumn drilling progress, weighing BYDV, grass-weed and flea beetle risks against crop establishment, variety choice, herbicide timing and soil condition across their regions.

Drilling date, grass-weed pressure and herbicide timing all need to be weighed carefully this autumn, with field-by-field decisions and robust herbicide programmes key to protecting crop potential

Hutchinsons agronomist Darryl Shailes gives his latest insights into root crop production

Wheat prices are seemingly recovering but what price is needed to compensate for inflated input costs?

Farmers are being urged to use the extended post-harvest window to assess soil condition and nutrient status before making routine fertiliser applications or undertaking cultivations

After launching its flagship de-risking partnership in 2024, Frontier Agriculture has launched a second initiative to provide growers with more freedom while still providing financial protection

After the second exceptionally dry season in a row, patience and carefully targeted cultivations will be essential to establish crops successfully this autumn
