Supporting the future of farming through our commitment to research & development.
We are committed to finding solutions to agronomic problems.
We believe that our breadth and depth of research is what sets us apart – whether we’re trialling new seed varieties, researching integrated pest management, or developing new bio-stimulants.
Agrii Research Projects
Nitrogen Climate Smart Project
The purpose of the project is to investigate nitrogen efficient plants for climate smart arable cropping systems.
Bio-Solutions in Pulses
Identifying potential bio-stimulants and bio-controls for the management of pulses.
Digital Technology Farms
Investigating new technology to extract value for the field of the future.
Under our Green Horizons programme, we’re putting more focus on sustainable technologies and approaches, across arable, fruit, vegetable and potatoes – something that our new iFarms and Digital Technology Farms will help us to research in a real farm setting.
Just some of the topics we’re researching
Every year we have a new programme of research based on what you, our customers, tell us you most need. Here are some examples of what we’re currently working on:
-
Field trials comparing untreated, standard fungicide programmes, reduced rate fungicides, and reduced rate fungicides bolstered with biosolutions
-
Research on regenerative farming techniques with a focus on ensuring profitability
-
40,000 trials of seed varieties, plus trials of crops novel to the UK market, while also developing our Variety Sustainability Ratings
-
Seed treatment trials looking at ‘traditional’ and new, including micronutritional, biological (including endophytes) and biostimulant options
-
Trialling our Agrii-Start range of fertilisers, designed for enhancing nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and reducing your carbon footprint
-
Crop protection products trials focused on understanding new products or those being registered within 2-3 years
-
Wide ranging work on biosolutions, exploring benefits to crop health and pest and disease tolerance and control
