NIAB TAG

2023

Read source ↗ All evidence

Summary

This NIAB TAG publication provides guidance on micronutrient management in arable cropping systems, drawing on agronomic research and advisory experience relevant to UK conditions. It likely addresses the identification of micronutrient deficiencies, appropriate diagnostic methods, and the economic and practical case for corrective applications. As a NIAB TAG output, it is aimed principally at agronomists and farm advisers rather than presenting novel experimental data.

UK applicability

This publication is produced by NIAB TAG, a leading UK agricultural research and advisory organisation, and is directly applicable to UK arable farming practice, soil conditions, and regulatory context. It is likely aligned with prevailing UK fertiliser and crop nutrition guidance frameworks.

Key measures

Soil micronutrient indices; foliar and soil application rates (kg/ha); crop deficiency symptoms; tissue test thresholds (mg/kg)

Outcomes reported

The publication likely reviews the prevalence, diagnosis, and correction of micronutrient deficiencies in arable crops, covering elements such as manganese, boron, copper, zinc, and molybdenum. It may report on soil and tissue testing thresholds, crop response to micronutrient applications, and practical guidance for UK arable producers.
