Inside Syngenta’s Test Farm. Hybrid Wheat, Biologicals & Sustainable Farming
from P.X. Farms Podcast · host P.X. Farms
In this episode we visit one of Syngenta’s major agricultural test sites at the Allerton Project, exploring the research and field trials helping shape the future of farming.We take a look at trials involving hybrid wheat, biological products, drainage systems and soil management, while discussing one of the biggest questions facing modern agriculture, what does sustainability in farming actually mean?Along the way we explore whether cattle could play a larger role in replacing artificial fertiliser, debate whether ploughing still has a place in modern systems, and see how researchers are measuring gas release and soil compaction in the field.We also discuss the regulations surrounding biological products, how commercial partners support agricultural research, and what it’s really like managing a working farm that also acts as a large-scale test site.A fascinating insight into the science, trials and difficult decisions shaping the future of UK agriculture.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro1:03 The Allerton Project3:54 Commercial Partners6:00 Researching The Benefits Of New Drainage7:48 What Is Sustainability In Farming?9:31 Field Trial Of Hybrid Wheat12:54 Can Cattle Replace Artificial Fertiliser?16:43 Does Ploughing Have A Place?20:33 The Rain Has Arrived21:05 What is Syngenta Biologicals?24:50 Regulations Of Biologicals28:37 Farm Managers On A Test Site35:22 Measuring Gas Release To Test Compaction39:19 Gas Testing43:04 A Very Wet OutroP.X.
