Launch of new Agri-Tech East Soil Health Special Interest Group

New research has revealed that microbial activity plays a much greater role in maintaining the structure and fertility of soil than previously thought. This knowledge is providing new insights into soil management and is one of the areas to be discussed by Prof John Crawford, Rothamsted Research and Dr Tony Miller, John Innes Centre, who will be leading discussion with input from farmers, producers and equipment manufacturers. The aim is to develop and share best practice by applying the latest scientific thinking to practical applications and create collaborative projects to improve soil quality.
