Rothamsted Research has revealed that nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers can boost soil organic carbon levels by up to 28%, based on findings from the Broadbalk Classical Experiment. The research employs advanced techniques to assess the impact of these fertilizers on carbon storage and is also exploring trehalose 6-phosphate to enhance photosynthesis efficiency. Additionally, in collaboration with Bosch and others, Rothamsted is developing an AI-driven system for targeted blackgrass weed control, supporting a vision for sustainable agricultural practices in the UK.
