One of the PhD students we support, Paul Zauzau Chunga, gives an update on what he is discovering on the role of agronomy and genotype in stopping sugar loss during storage of sugar beet.
Weeds, ground beetles, earthworms, and spiders in our fields at Morley came under the scrutiny of French student Cyriaque Carton-Moreau. We are pleased to share his report of what he did and found during his study.
Research is not just interesting when it ends. The process of research, particularly for a PhD, can be revealing too. So, we asked two of the PhD students whose work TMAF is supporting to give an update on what they are doing now.
With an eye on the future of farming we have reviewed and refined our TMAF funding strategy for the next five years to show what and who we want to invest in.
TMAF’s Morley Farm is assessing Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) in wheat and spring barley to try to improve yields with less damage to the environment.
As part of our Morley Clean Water Project, David Jones describes the two new features put in place as part of work to ensure that the water leaving Morley Farm is as clean, if not cleaner, than when it arrives.
The search is on for up to four young East Anglian agri-professionals who, with support from TMAF, want to build their management, communication and business skills.
New weather monitoring at TMAF’s Morley Farm is providing interesting data for today and useful comparisons with previous times.
One year into her PhD co-supported by TMAF, research student Suzannah Cobb updates us on the progress – and challenges – thus far.
