Our research hub hosts field-scale trials, backed by a network of satellite farms for large-scale work or trials you want run separately from the hub. Every trial is managed with ARM software, and as trials progress we will publish video and content explaining the process and results.
Twelve field-scale trials commencing between 2026 and 2027.
Managing and applying AD digestate while assessing its effects on soil health, fertility and crop performance — showing its ability to offset chemical fertilisers and the cost savings farmers can achieve whilst maintaining output.
Comparing gypsum and lime on grassland to assess their effects on soil health and nutrient availability, along with grass productivity and palatability.
Two catch-crop mixtures evaluated for nitrogen capture, reduced nutrient losses and improved soil health — then incorporated back into the soil to benefit the following crop.
Using dock beetles (gastrophysa viridula) as a natural, biological alternative to chemical sprays for controlling dock infestations in grassland.
Assessing variability in pig slurry nutrient content to improve nutrient management, optimise fertiliser applications and link with the Nitrates Directive — scientific testing plus practical application.
Applying the by-product of protein extraction from fresh grass (Biorefinery GLAS project) as a biofertiliser to assess soil fertility, crop growth and nutrient recycling.
Evaluating faba bean varieties for yield, protein content and potential as a sustainable protein crop — grown, harvested and processed into high-protein feed materials.
Growing fibre hemp under local conditions, processing it into hempcrete blocks and comparing carbon sequestered vs the emissions of equivalent concrete.
Growing linseed under local conditions, then harvesting and processing it into oils available for personal use.
Growing oilseed rape from scratch, pressing it for oil and incorporating it into biodiesel — evaluating the viability of offsetting conventional diesel.
Comparing liquid and granular fertiliser applications — showing how liquid, done correctly, can cut fertiliser use by roughly 30–50% with the same output.
Sustainable potato production using biofertilisers to offset chemical fertilisers whilst maintaining yield and quality — across different varieties.
Our research hub has zones varying in nature and size suited to biodiversity and ecology trials. We can accommodate just about any project — at the hub or on a satellite farm. Send us an outline and we will draft a no-obligation proposal.
Indoor trials at our research hub and Lisheen site — completely open and flexible. Expected areas include fruit, herbs, vegetables, flowers & foliage, pests & diseases, and plant nutrition.
Large-scale trials on satellite farms, hub-based research or indoor work — outline your project and we will draft a no-obligation proposal.
Sustainable recovery and research of wastes & by-products — to fertiliser, green energy and recycled products, whilst reducing your carbon footprint.
