Throughout the day, we shared images of staff at work from our HQ in Cambridge, East Malling in Kent and beyond to show you 24 hours of plant science into practice. Here are our best posts:
NIAB staff supporting #FARM24
The only way to really kick off #Farm24 is with a Harvest23 photo! This is from our HQ trial grounds between Cambridge and Histon.
We have a blackcurrant trial with Ribena that is ready for harvest, looking at gall mite control. These mites cause big bud disease and are the vector of blackcurrant reversion virus, one of the biggest threats to blackcurrant production.
This Shona is harvesting some oats to check for upper culm node hairs.
