In the last episode of the series, plant ecologist Jonathan Storkey treats us to fascinating insights on biodiversity in production systems and soil microbial communities, emphasising how context is crucial when choosing your tillage approach. He shares his journey from birdwatching ecologist to leading weed scientist at Rothamsted Reseach, where he has been studying tillage and biodiversity interactions for over two decades.
He dives into the concept of “functional biodiversity"- pollinators, predators, and microbes that support food production, and how tillage impacts those delicate systems. We explore the Rothamsted long-term systems trials, where contrasting tillage approaches across different soil types are revealing nuanced shifts in yield, weed pressure, soil carbon, and microbial succession. Jonathan explains how early-stage bacteria-dominated soils differ from more stable fungal systems, and how physical disturbance resets succession.
He also explores glyphosate reliance (including glyphosate-resistant weeds), weed control trade-offs, IPM potential, and the resilience of different systems to extreme weather events.

Beschrijving

www.agricology.co.uk is a hub that explores moving towards farming systems that harness ecological processes & holistic approaches to help balance productive agriculture with enhancing the wider environment. In 2020, we chatted with some of the movers & shakers in the fields, labs & food supply chains; focusing on sustainable farming practices in ‘Agroecology in focus’ & speaking with innovating farmers ‘In the field.’ We returned in 2024 ‘In conversation with’ an exciting line up of farmers, researchers, advisors & industry figures who set out to explore optimal carrying capacity; the practical, philosophical & pertinent. Our latest 2025 series brings together a diverse range of voices to explore the complex & often polarising topic of tillage - to till or not to till?
