3D Thinking brings innovation to growers nationally and regionally.

2023 variety trial insights

2022-23 nutrition trials update

Frontier's 3D Thinking concept is a research, innovation and development programme comprising a number of crop production trial sites across the UK.

The programme is designed to find solutions for UK farmers in response to the challenges often presented, helping Frontier's experts to continually develop their knowledge from the latest research while ensuring customers always receive the best possible advice.

The programme consists of the following three areas:

Discovery

Frontier's Discovery programme works with new and emerging technologies to discover solutions for future challenges.
Yield estimation, weed or nematode mapping, and crop monitoring delivered with SOYLsight drone.
The long-term implications of resistance.
The potential benefits of cultivations and rotations to control grassweeds.
Soil health, structure and vitality.
Managing the impact of legislation and the withdrawal of active ingredients.
