Once again, the popular exhibition proved itself to be the country’s leading golf course and sports turf management event.
Grass Science Seeds finds the wide choice of lectures, presentations and exhibitors is second to none and, of course, there’s the chance to catch up and chat with old friends as well as make new ones.
Potassium is an essential nutrient for all plants. Enzyme processes, water movement, and transport of the products of photosynthesis are all reliant on potassium. It is essential that crops have a good supply of potassium to ensure high yields and consistent quality.
The easiest and most simplistic way to assess the health of soil is to dig a hole and observe the number of worms present. This gives a great indication of the structure, fertility and nutrient content of the soil. Earthworms are an essential part of soil health, often being referred to as ‘nature’s plough’; they undertake a similar functions but at a much slower rate.
Sulphur is classified as a secondary nutrient, and is often referred to as the ‘fourth major plant nutrient’. Sulphur is frequently a limiting nutrient in plant quality and yield, largely due to increasing yields from crops and lack of awareness of the importance of sulphur.
In recent years, habitat loss has resulted in a reduction in wildlife species and therefore biodiversity; it is important to replace the habitats to encourage wildlife.
Our team are so excited to be attending BTME 2023, hosted by BIGGA. This event is the Golden Globes of the turf world and is taking place right on our doorstep in Harrogate from the 22nd – 26th of January!
