Temporary Companion Cropping in Winter Wheat
Dr Dannielle Robb
Sep, 16 2025A desk-based study explores the potential of sowing beans or linseed alongside Winter Wheat to boost soil health and reduce input reliance. While policy incentives and ecological benefits are promising, practical adoption faces hurdles — from herbicide compatibility to machinery requirements. With field trials cancelled due to wet weather previously, the findings draw on agronomy team insights, label reviews, and integrated farm management principles. Could this be a viable route to healthier soils and more resilient cropping systems?
