Sulphur is often overlooked in agriculture. Now, it’s becoming recognised as an essential nutrient—just as important as nitrogen—required for nitrogen uptake, improved crop quality, and boosted yields. Despite this, winter wheat tissue and grain analysis from the past few years have shown that a significant proportion of samples were deficient in sulphur. Why? And how can we make impactful changes for optimal crop production using key data insights?
Hosted by experts from NRM, the UK’s leading agricultural analysis laboratory, and Rothamsted Research, a renowned agricultural science research centre, this free virtual event focuses on the importance of sulphur in boosting crop production and for effective nutrient management, as well as a deep dive into the latest data insights.
With perspectives from agronomists and discovery leaders, this webinar is essential viewing for anyone in agriculture, from farmers to advisors to change makers.
“This webinar will bring together leading experts to help farmers understand how neglecting nutrients like sulphur can adversely impact nutrient availability and plant health,’ said Sophie Cath, Senior Business Development Manager at NRM. ‘With last year’s extreme wet conditions and ongoing weather challenges across the UK, sulphur deficiencies—particularly in cereal and oilseed crops—are becoming a growing concern. Farmers must reassess their nutrient management strategies with this vital nutrient to make sure their crops are getting all they need to thrive.’
Sophie will be joined by a panel of agricultural experts, including:
- Professor Steve McGrath, Discovery Leader at Rothamsted Research
- Dr Sajjad Awan, Soil & Crop Nutrition Agronomist at NRM
- Alli Arden, Agronomy Manager at NRM
Participants will have the opportunity to engage with our speakers, gaining practical insights and innovative strategies for optimising sulphur nutrition. A live Q&A session will also give attendees the opportunity to question our experts.
