Join us at the Teagasc Johnstown Castle in Wexford Wednesday for the #FarmingForABetterFuture open day. Some great #SoilHealth demos including walk in pits. Learn about the 6 principles of managing soils well, talk to our earthworm specialist and look down the microscope at fungi. This & much more..

Want to sample plant exudates and the rhizosphere microbiome from the same plants? Check out this new paper from the roots2Res team led by @carmen-escudero.bsky.social on how to do it! #Soilmicrobiome #PlantMicrobiome
