A deep dive into all things SLUGS!
A serious pest for oil seed rape (OSR), potato and sometimes wheat farmers.
We focus on some of the more interesting aspects of slugs and their control. Not least, the use of Eutrema's new SLUGGER product, which we are trialling on OSR crops this autumn. For mo…
A deep dive into how arable farmers can turn the tide against this pernicious weed. Black grass is a weed that has proven very successful at invading cereal crops due to a number of key features. We talk about these features and new ways to control black grass. For more details, please visit:

Puccinia, or to me and you, RUST!
A serious problem for arable farmers, especially if it hits early in the growing season.
We discuss the very unusual biology of the many species of rust that infect cereal crops. Plus we discuss some very novel methods of control. Not least Eutrema's CHITOSAN bio…
There are over 6000 species of thrips. Luckily, only a few of these attack arable crops.
Thrips feed off the top surface of the leaf, leaving characteristically silver markings behind.
Thrips lay their eggs INSIDE leaves, which makes killing every point of the life cycle difficult. Plus the pupae…
Brome is a weed that is very different to the other weed we have already discussed, black grass. This is because brome weeds have very large seeds, and they are closely related to all cereal crops.
This means that while they might not travel as far as black grass, they can hold more cereal disease…
Peach potato aphid is a pest that doesn't cause a massive amount of damage directly by feeding on the crop.
However, this aphid is a vector for hundreds of plant diseases. Plus it can feed off plants in over 40 plant families. As such, farmers need to be able to control the peach potato aphid to e…
Powdery mildew affects every type of crop on the farm (except Christmas TREES!). However, the type of mildew that affects each species is different. That means you cannot get cross-infection between crops or weeds.
Mildew thrives in warm humid conditions, but actually doesn't like being sprayed wi…
On the face of it, not the most interesting of subjects. However, you will find this episode both informative and hilarious. Did you know about pigeon milk or domesticated dodos? No, neither did I until this episode!
If you would like to discuss alternative options for pigeon control, please conta…
Salt is a common food for humans, but it is deadly toxic to plants.
You should be aware of the symptoms of salinity damage on any farm as it can be an issue anywhere, not just on the coast or in arid countries!
In this episode we discuss the symptoms of salt damage, the effects it has on the plan…
