SOP-FIELD-EMERGENCE: standard operating procedure for emergence and establishment trials
Plot layout, sowing density, counting schedule, control-matching requirements and data recording format. Published openly.
SOP-LAB-GERM: petri-dish germination screening ahead of field commitment

Cycle 2 interim readout: emergence across five crops under matched irrigation
Day-12 and day-20 measurements across sugar pea, lettuce, radish and green bean, including the two crops showing no treatment separation.
Why control design is the weakest point in most agricultural evidence packages
An examination of the confounds we most frequently encounter in client-supplied trial data, and the design choices that eliminate them.
Effect size, significance and the commercial threshold in field agriculture
Why statistical significance and commercial relevance are different questions, and how to design a trial that answers both.
Nitrogen reduction with foliar supplementation in leafy vegetables: 2025 season summary
Yield and calibre outcomes at 70% and 50% of standard nitrogen application, with and without foliar programme.

Why we publish our methods
Results are frequently confidential. Methods should not be. Publishing our standard operating procedures lets a reviewer, a regulator or a competitor examine exactly how a number was produced — and that examination is what gives the number its value.
It also means a partner site can run our protocol and produce data that is genuinely comparable to ours, which is the foundation of the multi-site network trials we operate.
