Celebrating the Hillsborough Experiment at 50 Years

ECT was delighted to partner with the Agrifood & Biosciences Institute in Northern Ireland last week (16 September) to celebrate 50 years of continuous research at the Hillsborough long-term slurry (LTS) addition experiment 20 miles south of Belfast. Held outdoors under COVID-19 restrictions, the co-sponsored event attracted 35 delegates and featured an excellent keynote talk from Jon Storkey of Rothamsted Research, who spoke about the Park Grass experiment and the importance of long-term ecological experiments in general.
