On-farm trials: turning research into results

Description:

On-farm experimentation or trials come naturally to some farmers, while others see them as a hassle or someone else’s responsibility. 

 

On this week’s Tillage Edge, Jack Jameson, a Teagasc researcher, and John Pettit, a Teagasc tillage adviser working in the southeast, discuss how farmers can set up their own on-farm trials and maximise the benefits for their efforts.

 

John points out that when farmers don’t see much of a result from different treatments, it could be due to a design or practice error—but it might also mean there’s simply no difference between the treatments. 

 

However, if a treatment has shown a difference in independent, replicated trials, it could be worth revisiting the on-farm trial setup to ensure it’s providing meaningful insights.
