Introducing Andy Barr (@EwenMcEwen) - Andy is now on his second year with the project, with hopes of finding a cost-effective form slug control. Click the image below to read why Andy has got involved and a bit of his farming background👇 thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?thre…
Introducing: 'Meet the Slug Sleuth!' We will be introducing farmers who have joined the SLIMERS project to carry out trials this autumn 🧑🌾 Give us a follow to follow along & head to the Slug Circle where you will be able to ask the farmers questions 🔔👇 thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?thre…
This is exactly what @bofinfarmers are developing with @slimersproject & we’ve a £2.6M budget to deliver it. It’s truly farmer-led & we’ve done work on assessing the value of beetles. If you want to know more & help shape SLIMERS, make yr voice heard on thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?foru…
How do you currently control slugs on your farm? Has this changed in recent years & if so, why? Have you tried biological control agents such as nematodes or predatory beetles to control slugs (or other pests)? What were the results? Get involved 👇 thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?thre…
Speaking SLIMERS with a malacologist, nematologist, parasitologist & entomologist - Part 2 OUT NOW! 🥳 Join @tomallenstevens (@bofinfarmers) & @Kerry_McD_H (@UKAgriTech) to discuss how the project aims to tackle arable farmings biggest pest! 👇 youtu.be/dieGbfYhPEI
Getting the @tomallenstevens @bofinfarmers Watkins 788 slug resistant wheat & Slimers trials fully set out today with the valued & able help from @Cliveblacker and Mrs Paynter (ex Leeds Uni root counting lab technician) 👍😎
Do you know what a malacologist, nematologist, parasitologist & entomologist is? 🤯 Listen to the latest BOFIN Buzz (@bofinfarmers) to be introduced to @Kerry_McD_H (@UKAgriTech), slug expert on the project🚜🔍 LISTEN NOW: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tom-a…
It’s a pleasure & an inspiration to work with Simon. I’m one 6 farmers planting 3 Watkins lines or RILs this autumn to investigate slug resistant wheat as part of @slimersproject The journey we’re on is fascinating. @charlespaynter @becciberry
