Head over to PulsePEP on TheFarmingForum to help out this user? ๐ 'First time organic winter bean grower here. When are they ready to harvest? Our spring beans are typically October (Scotland) but we've got a trial intercropping them with winter oats.' thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threโฆ
A quick reminder for growers involved in the YEN - The Yield Enhancement Network to send their pea and bean samples as soon as possible. Find out more on how to take the best sample for your peas at yen.adas.co.uk/projects/pea-yโฆ, and how to take the best sample for your beans at yen.adas.co.uk/projects/bean-โฆ
Fantastic opportunity to become a #PulsePioneer, host trials on your farm & explore advanced legume practices!๐ซ๐ซ๐ @BofinFarmers The NCS Project #sustainablefarming
Have you collected your YEN - The Yield Enhancement Network grab sample yet? Make sure to go out & grab before harvest - here is a helpful video with Charlotte White demonstrating how you should collect them & what ADAS analyse them once received๐ฑ๐ youtu.be/44Xg0FCAPuE?siโฆ

Thatโs the The NCS Project beans ticked off yesterday here at South Ormsby Estate. We also managed to harvest our #organic S Oats late into the night but 4mm during the night has put a damper on today. Just S Wheat and later drilled S Beans to go ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ปโ๏ธโ๏ธ YEN - The Yield Enhancement Network NPZ UK ๐ซ๐ซ #harvest2024
Thanks for sharing #PulsePioneer Paul Barnes - all looks to be going well! ๐
A pea/oat bicrop showing the management challenge of harvest! Part of our research with The NCS Project to ascertain whether we can grow more UK pulses to reduce imports of protein & use of synthetic N in arable rotations ๐ซ๐พ
It's been interesting to see the The NCS Project spring pea/oat bicrop trial develop this summer, alongside oat, pea & bean straights. A very late entry on 10th May, harvest planned for second week in September. Then the data crunching begins...
The glasshouse is officially lit up pink for The NCS The NCS Project project at Cranfield University ! ๐ Exciting things to come ๐ฑ
'Having had a fantastic looking crop of Organic S Beans all year, the inset of Chocolate Spot has been a major hit on yield & seed size after harvest. Has anyone seen any trial work on treatments, varietal difference etc. they can share?' Get involved ๐ thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threโฆ
