The MobiLab will aid in Topsoil investigations which aim to identify nitrate levels within the soil profile at three demo farms. These farms display varying soil types & utilise a number of cultivation techniques. The equipment was discussed with Topsoil EU partners at the recent online project conference and can be viewed on the EU Topsoil website:
WRT Director Peter Nailon recently presented UK1's project summary to the Topsoil partners. This focused on soil health & and upcoming field investigations taking place in the Wear and Tyne Catchments.
The Topsoil Interreg funded project has been extended to Dec 2021, the WRT will be looking to continue our work with the farming community protecting both surface and groundwaters within the Wear catchment. Find out more at the link below:
