Sea2Soil invests in next-phase trials in partnership with Nottingham University to research how the soil improver encourages essential microbial activity
As we move into the third year since our first farmer-led trials, the Sea2Soil team is excited to announce that next-phase research and development is currently underway.
In partnership with the Nottingham University Soil Department, we are investing time and money into how Sea2Soils’ performance stacks up against traditional farming methods. By comparing regeneration agriculture with conventional agriculture practices we’re working to establish the level of microbial increase that using Sea2Soil encourages as it delivers the fungi/bacteria food underground livestock requires.
Both glasshouse and farm trials are in progress and will be used to establish short to long-term results on an independent basis to validate outputs. Due to be completed this summer the results should be available for the Autumn applications of Sea2Soil through UK distribution.
Alongside the trials taking place under the expert eye of the Nottingham University team, work is also underway with Eurofins looking at various compatibilities on a range of crops. Sea2Soil is collaborating with the world leader in testing for life, to establish tank mix compatibilities with various growth regulators, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides on a variation of crops - WW WB Spring Barley, OSR, Potatoes SB + grassland (silage).
Rates of application and crop timing are also being evaluated during the testing process Eurofins is undertaking on behalf of Sea2Soil.
This next phase of trials totals 14, a key investment for the Sea2Soil team as we work to establish and confirm the superior microbial activity, natural nitrogen abilities and nutrient absorption properties of our groundbreaking product.
Please visit our stands at Cereals (120) and Groundswell (DF E41) this June for further information and to get a firsthand update on results.
