Crop Health and Protection: Phenotyping and Soil Health Facility
What it does: CHAP's Phenotyping and Soil Health Facility at Cranfield University will demonstrate at a pilot scale how soil properties can be altered by tillage techniques in soil-crop systems to test the effects of soil condition on, for example: agrochemical dynamics; nutrient and water use; crop establishment; root and canopy development and crop yield; soil health and degradation; soil-borne diseases; weed control; and crop genotype × soil interactions.
