    Brief

    This Defra-funded research opportunity aims to identify which conventional horticultural crops and cultivars can effectively tolerate higher water table conditions. The work will generate critical physiological, morphological, and yield-related data to support future crop modelling studies and inform field-scale trial designs. This is a self-service direct award opportunity suitable for research organizations, agricultural institutions, and crop science specialists with expertise in horticulture and soil-water plant interactions. The successful recipient will conduct controlled assessments to determine crop performance under elevated water table scenarios, providing evidence-based insights to help farmers adapt to changing water management conditions and soil moisture regimes.
