Since launching in May 2026, the Dyson Farming Research Centre has welcomed ~700 visitors. Trials show strong diversity testing practical agronomic solutions. At scale, this work helps us and our @ResearchDF members make science-led decisions for optimal performance.
Join Dyson Farming Research this potato harvest🥔 We’re hiring Seasonal Harvest Assistants in Lincolnshire to support field trials. Gain hands-on experience lifting potatoes & recording valuable data from them. 🗓️ Late July–Sept 📍 Lincolnshire 👉 Apply: lnkd.in/e9N6EM58
We’re really pleased to be launching a new Defra funded @innovateuk UK ADOPT project testing whether supramolecular foliar nitrogen can reduce fertiliser use by up to 25% without impacting yield or quality on potatoes and oilseed rape
Delighted to secure Defra funding via Innovate UK with Airponix. Their A‑frame fog-based propagation tech, now in our Lincolnshire glasshouse, will accelerate seed potato production and enable faster, lower-cost trials—scaled into real farm conditions
At @ResearchDF we use a 3‑gate model to turn ideas into impact: screen, test, scale. This Gate 3 demo combines 31 wheat varieties with 9 management strategies, testing biology, chemistry reduction & AI‑led agronomy. Yield data will be captured at harvest to inform next year.
What a week! The Dyson Farming Research Centre at Nocton is now live. It’s a space turning agri‑tech, genetics and agronomy innovation into practical on‑farm reality. This launch marks the start of accelerating real change across UK agriculture. @ResearchDF
Drilling the first of two @ResearchDF field trials for our DEFRA‑funded Innovate UK ADOPT project at Dyson Farming’s Leadenhall site in South Lincolnshire. Working with PGRO and Fen Peas to test establishment effects in modern vining peas under commercial conditions.
We’re pleased to welcome Phoebe Elvin to @ResearchDF for a 3‑month PhD placement A plant pathologist at the John Innes Centre, Phoebe will support applied research, including early‑stage trials exploring far‑UVc light to reduce fungal infection and extend strawberry shelf life
We’re delighted to welcome Christian Hollingbery to @ResearchDF as a PhD student based at the Dyson Farming Research Centre. Christian is studying soil microbiology and will lead a winter wheat biostimulant trial focused on reducing nitrogen use without compromising yield.
Our Crop Research Scientist Laura Briers recently shared key insights from last season’s trials with @DysonFarming operators, inviting them to challenge the results and help shape next year’s programme This feedback keeps our trials practical, relevant & rooted in real farming!
Dyson Farming Research has secured DEFRA funding via the Innovate UK ADOPT fund to advance next‑gen, low‑input potato production. We’ll be trialling precision foliar nutrition and microbial biostimulants to boost efficiency & resilience. 👉More info: dysonfarming.com/driving-the-fu…
Two days of Dyson Farming Research Operator Days at Nocton and Carrington brought everyone together for hands‑on cultivation sessions. With soil specialist Philip Wright, we saw how smart machinery setup boosts soil health, fuel efficiency and long‑term sustainability.
We’re excited to welcome Alice Waugh as our new Research Assistant at Dyson Farming Research! Alice brings strong biological research, field data, and ag‑science experience—boosting our expanding trials and innovation projects for 2026. Welcome to the team, Alice!
We’re pleased to announce 'Bending the Curve' with Wild Bioscience, KWS & Andrew Newby, backed by Innovate UK and DEFRA. The project aims to boost wheat yields by improving how the crop uses sunlight — with real‑world testing led by @ResearchDF . 👉 dysonfarming.com/unlocking-high…
@ResearchDF is partnering with Fibe, NIAB and Sentry to turn potato stems (usually waste) into sustainable textile fibre. Fibe’s work shows real promise, and we’re excited to support a greener UK fibre industry. Funded by Defra/Innovate UK ADOPT. 👉 dysonfarming.com/exploring-pota…
🚜 Big milestone for the @ResearchDF Centre! Our dedicated research farm operator has collected our new bespoke sprayer and tractor; boosting precision, capability and in‑house trial delivery. More updates to come… but for now, it’s full steam ahead into 2026 trial prep! 🌱
We're delighted to secure Innovate UK ADOPT funding for BioStim Review; a major step for independent, on‑farm biostimulant testing. Working with Velcourt across wheat & potato crop, this project aims to bring clarity to a crowded market. More here 👉 dysonfarming.com/new-innovate-u…
Big biostimulant trial kicks off at Dyson Farming Research Centre: 14.7ha of wheat split into 8 zones across 4 varieties and 2 input regimes. Seed treatments going in now, foliar sprays in spring. Real-world data to guide future agronomy decisions
We Drilled 30 varieties on Friday using the 12m Horsch Avatar at the Dyson Farming Research Centre 🚜 This large-scale demo sets up spring crop protection trials and is backed by our plot-scale trials 🔬 With thanks to the Dyson Farming team for making this possible.
