At Cereals, the Processors and Growers Research Organisation (PGRO) will showcase how the Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) will develop once the organisation takes ownership in the autumn.
Key changes are said to be based around streamlining data capture, reducing the time required to participate and prioritising outcomes which deliver the most valuable insights.
Research agronomist Erin Matlock said: “Using technology as much as possible to gather the data points needed for the pulse YENs is an obvious area where we can make it easier and slicker to participate. We will do this through an app which we will be demonstrating at Cereals.”
The team will also be on hand to discuss its current projects, including ANSWERS, an initiative that looks to optimise the on-farm yield and quality of faba bean as an alternative UK-produced protein source, and the NCS Project, which aims to reduce carbon emissions, increase pulses in arable rotations, and reduce soya meal.
