Beyond Biostimulants:
A New Way to Think About Soil Functions Regenerative agriculture has moved from a niche discussion to a mainstream priority. Global food companies are committing billions to improving soil health, lowering emissions and stabilising supply chains. Farmers, too, are under pressure to manage nutrients more efficiently, build resilience into rotations and deal with increasingly erratic weather. Yet, despite all this momentum, one area remains murky: the role of biological inputs.

Your Soil Knows More Than You Think
Most fields have a story beneath the surface, a tale that rarely gets heard. We walk them, drill them, fertilise them, even curse them, but how often do we actually understand what makes them tick? Look closely, and you will see texture, colour, roots and worms, but the real conversation begins when you look deeper into how that soil behaves. Every soil carries its own fingerprint. The way nutrients are held and released, the balance between calcium and magnesium, and the qui

The Nitrogen Trap: Why So Many Crop Problems Start Before We Even Open the Bag
Every winter meeting eventually circles back to the topic of nitrogen. It’s always the same conversation: rates, timing, prices, “what did you do last year?”, and a general sense that nitrogen is both the hero and villain of modern farming. The truth is that nitrogen isn’t the issue at all; the problem lies in how easily we misuse it, and how far we’ve drifted from understanding the soil system that’s supposed to hold and manage it for us. Nitrogen provides an immediate visua

When the Sun Won’t Shine
What the UK’s dullest October in 60 years means for farmers. October didn’t arrive with a dramatic headline. No endless rain drowning drilling plans. No surprise frost wiping out late crops. But in farming, the problems that sneak in quietly can be the most disruptive. The Met Office has confirmed that the UK recorded just 63.3 hours of sunshine, the third-dullest October since 1910, and that lack of light may carry more consequences than many realise. Sunlight is the currenc

Independence: Why Transparency Matters More Than Labels
“Independent advice” gets talked about a lot in our industry. It is used as a badge of credibility and rightly so. When someone tells a farmer what to put on a crop, the stakes are high, and growers want to know the guidance they are getting is grounded in their best interest. But over years of walking fields across the UK, one thing has become very clear to me: no one gives advice in a vacuum. Every advisor, whether they are described as independent, product-linked, specia

Fertiliser Tax: The Straw That Broke the Soil’s Back
There’s a mood running through the forums, and you can feel it in the tone of farmers everywhere. Not the usual muttering about red diesel or rainfall, this is deeper. The fertiliser tax, dressed up as a “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism,” has landed like a wet policy manual on an already soggy desk. In theory, it’s simple: make polluters pay for the carbon footprint of imported fertiliser. In practice, it’s farmers who foot the bill, while imports made with the same, or wo

The Frost Bacterium That Feeds Crops
The Microbe That Both Makes and Stops Frost Pseudomonas fluorescens. There’s a bacterium that can make ice. Not metaphorically — literally. Its name is Pseudomonas fluorescens , and for years it’s been the pantomime villain of the horticultural world, blamed for those annoying early frosts that turn bean leaves into mush and make lettuce look like someone’s hit “defrost” on the fridge. And yet, in one of nature’s finest plot twists, the very same species is now being used to
