‘Thriving Roots Underpinning Total soil Health’ (TRUTH): a 3 year ambitious research project that aims to improve farm productivity and mitigate climate change!
Joined February 2024
🌱A hands-on day at Morley Farms for BOFIN farmer trialists from @truth_project & @probityproject learning shovelomics and seeing the PES sensor in action! We learned how these tools can help us understand more about what's going on beneath the surface.

Great to see team @UniofNottingham on @GWandShows esp Craig Sturrock explaining the CT scans of roots & how they reveal the “hidden half” of plants. @bofinfarmers Root Rangers are sending in core samples for analysis as part of @_truth_project #Insight 👀 https://t.co/XBn8U8h6N0
