De Sangosse helps farmers ‘grow smarter’ at Cereals Event 2025
14th May 2025
De Sangosse, provider of crop protection solutions and agricultural inputs, is preparing to showcase its latest innovations and stewardship initiatives at the Cereals Event 2025.
Cereals Event 2025 takes place on 11th and 12th June in Lincolnshire.
For farmers, agronomists, and sprayer operators seeking expert advice and cutting-edge solutions, De Sangosse invites attendees to visit stand 712b.
With a focus on practical learning, live demonstrations, and one-on-one technical advice, the company is set to reinforce its commitment to helping UK farmers grow smarter.
Hub for agronomic education
As part of this year’s BASIS Knowledge Trail, De Sangosse’s stand will serve as a hands-on learning hub.
The company’s approach combines innovation with education, offering visitors the tools and insights needed to make informed agronomic decisions.
Whether addressing issues like glyphosate stewardship, crop nutrition, soil health, or slug control, De Sangosse’s stand will provide invaluable support to tackle the challenges that UK arable businesses are facing today.
Rhodri Morris, commercial director at De Sangosse, said the company’s slogan is: “Nurturing growth, harvesting excellence.”
He continued: “This reflects not only the innovative technologies we bring to the table but also the forward-thinking mindset that modern farming demands.”
Glyphosate Stewardship: a critical focus
With glyphosate-resistant ryegrass now confirmed on UK farms, De Sangosse will be emphasising the importance of glyphosate stewardship at the event.
As the risk of resistance continues to grow, effective stewardship is essential to ensure the long-term viability of this vital herbicide.
De Sangosse’s Glyphosate Stewardship Zone will be a focal point for educating farmers on best practices for resistance management, water quality, and application techniques.
“Glyphosate resistance is a real and growing risk, so every application counts,” explains Rhodri Morris.
“Water quality plays a huge role in ensuring glyphosate works effectively. Too often, hard water ties up the herbicide, reducing its efficacy.”
Visitors to De Sangosse’s stand will gain access to practical resources, including:
- Free digital water testing meters to help farmers assess their own spray water quality
- A new Glyphosate Stewardship Guide packed with best practice advice and resistance management strategies
By highlighting the role of water quality and resistance awareness, De Sangosse hopes to equip farmers with the knowledge needed to make glyphosate applications more effective and sustainable.
Soil nutrient activators: unlocking potential in your soil
In addition to glyphosate stewardship, De Sangosse will highlight its innovative soil nutrient activators—a game-changer for farmers aiming to enhance soil fertility without increasing the use of chemical fertilisers.
These activators are designed to unlock bound phosphate and essential micronutrients that are already present in the soil, making them more accessible for crops during key growth stages, the company explained.
“With fertiliser prices still volatile, being able to mobilise what’s already in the soil is a huge advantage for growers,” says Mr Morris.
“This not only supports sustainability but also strengthens financial resilience by reducing reliance on external inputs.”
On-site experts will guide visitors through how these soil activators can be integrated into both autumn and spring farming programs to maximise nutrient uptake and boost crop productivity.
Smarter crop nutrition: foliar feeding for healthier crops
De Sangosse is also placing a strong emphasis on smarter crop nutrition at the Cereals Event.
Their foliar feeding solutions are designed to help crops unlock their full potential by preventing nutrient deficiencies that can compromise growth and yield.
With a focus on efficient and sustainable feeding practices, the company’s biostimulant range promises to enhance plant health and crop resilience.
“It’s not just about feeding crops; it’s about feeding them efficiently,” explains Mr Morris.
“Our solutions are tailored to help plants navigate stress, safen herbicide tank-mixes, and ultimately maximise yield.”
Farmers visiting the stand will have the opportunity to explore how foliar nutrition can improve plant health, reduce the impact of environmental stressors, and enhance overall crop productivity.
Pod sealants: protecting yield at final stage
The event will also spotlight pod sealants, a proven solution to safeguard yields, particularly in oilseed rape and pulses.
With volatile weather patterns and the risk of pod shatter becoming increasingly common, applying pod sealants at the right time can significantly reduce seed loss and protect crop value.
“With oilseed rape prices currently sitting at £430 per tonne, it’s crucial for farmers to ensure their crops reach full potential,” says Mr Morris.
“We’ll be discussing the latest pod protection strategies and how our pod sealants can be a cost-effective solution to reduce harvest losses.”
Farmers will be able to explore De Sangosse’s trusted Pod-Stik sealant and discuss the benefits of timely application to secure their harvests.
Slug control: global approach to persistent problem
Another critical issue for farmers heading into the autumn season is slug control. De Sangosse will showcase its Ferric Phosphate slug pellet, a solution that has been proven to effectively manage slug populations with its unrivalled baiting power.
“Slugs remain one of the most economically damaging pests in UK agriculture,” says Mr Morris. “Our Ferric Phosphate solution is designed to be both effective and environmentally-friendly, with long-lasting control that helps farmers protect their crops.”
During the event, experts will walk farmers through the latest slug control strategies, emphasising the importance of pellet choice, timing, and monitoring for the most effective defense. Attendees will learn how to make informed decisions regarding slug pellet selection and apply them for optimal protection.
Spray trailer demonstrations: see it, learn it, apply it
A fully equipped spray trailer will be featured throughout the event, offering live demonstrations on nozzle choice, spraying conditions, and the impact of adjuvants on spray performance. Visitors will have the opportunity to see firsthand how different variables affect spray coverage and efficacy, and how these insights can be applied to their own operations.
“We want farmers to leave with a deeper understanding of spray technology and how to optimise their practices for better results,” explains Mr Morris. “The science behind better spraying will be front and centre, giving sprayer operators the confidence to apply these insights immediately.”
