Researchers at Lancaster University are using X-rays to help farmers increase yields and cut water pollution following an unexpected discovery in a pea and bean crop.
Plant and Soil Scientists hope to combine two new technologies to provide a rapid “same day” measurement of soil phosphorus availability, enabling farmers and growers to make more informed decisions about fertiliser application.
The move to develop this technique came about following an unexpected discovery by Dr Shane Rothwell, as part of his PhD studies at Lancaster University.
Dr Rothwell noticed that, contrary to expectations, pea and bean crop yields were sometimes decreased by up to 30 per cent when they were treated with recommended levels of lime – despite the fact that application of lime is expected to to improve the availability of plant nutrients.
He demonstrated that the reduced crop growth was associated with lower plant phosphorus content but existing ways of measuring the phosphorus in soil available for plant uptake were not picking up on the problem.
Consequently, developing a test to more accurately predict soil phosphorus availability following liming would benefit farmers and the environment, preventing waste and pollution.

Name: NORMAN, Leigh K.
First Date: 1929
Profession: Partner in a sawmill
Area: 'Dunmillin' farm, Endebess, Kitale
Children: Christopher L. (15 July 1929-19 Aug 2022 S. Africa); Rosamund (1931)
Book Reference: Red 31, Hut, Trans Nzoia Scrap Book
Trans Nzoia Scrap Book - Mount Elgon Saw Mill - In about 1910 Odin Sunde set up a saw mill on the Rongai River which flows down the North-East slope of Mount Elgon. His home-made water wheel drove the circular saw and the rawhide belt was regularly chewed up by hyenas at night. His Post Office was Soy, 45 miles away, and all timber had to be moved the 120 miles to railhead at Londiani by ox-wagons without benefit of roads or bridges.
In 1922, with a loan from Henry Mitford-Barberton and in partnership with Sven Lovan and Petter Axelsson, Odin established a new mill further north near the Chepchoine River. In 1927 Edward Josselyn, late works manager of Arthur Ransome & Co., bought out Loven and Axelsson and two years later with Leigh Norman as third partner yet another mill with up-to-date equipment was built near the Kwoitobbos River.
Two of Odin's sons, Odin and Arthur, were by then helping in the family business, and in 1930 Mount Elgon Saw Mills was registered in Uganda. The following year Leigh Norman left the mill and bought a farm near Endebess which he called 'Dunmillin'. When his friends enquired as to the origin of this unusual name, he would only look at them with a twinkle in his very blue eye and we have been left to speculate ever since!
In 1934 Edward Josselyn became the sole owner of what was by now a limited liability company, and his son Dick came out from England to learn the trade, which was a fortunate arrangement as Edward died that same year while on a business trip to Rhodesia. Since then the Mill has been run by his wife and son, but in 1937 'Tub' Roberts joined the firm as manager and in true tradition married the boss's daughter Mary.
David Le Breton: " Leigh Norman was a Kenya settler farmer at Endebess, near Kitale, in the 1930s and presumably the 1920s too. His farm was called Dunmillin, apparently because he had previously been engaged in a sawmill enterprise somewhere else in Kenya. I think he must have served in the First War and was sometimes known as either Captain or perhaps Major Norman. So my father knew him as one of the fellow soldier-settlers in that part of the District. The story is that he had built the house on the farm, in double storey style which was fairly unusual.
His wife was Molly Norman, who was a lover of classical music and a talented pianist, which is the main reason why my mother was especially friendly with her, and occasionally they used to do some recitals together. They had two children, Christopher, born 15 July 1929, and Rosamund a couple of years or so younger. . Our two families were close friends. Christopher was sent to the Pembroke House prep-school, near Gilgil. In 1939 the parents decided to "take home leave" back in Britain, but without disrupting Christopher's schooling. So they asked my mother if she would look after Christopher during the two school holidays in April and July - September. Then it turned out that there would be the second War starting in September, so the parents could not return to Kenya, so Christopher would have to continue to live with us. Leigh Norman joined up again, and was captured at Dunkirk and spent the rest of the war years in a German POW officers' prison camp.
After the War our two families remained close friends, and together with a third family a holiday house was built at the Coast near Diani, and therefore named Watatu. They all went there for the August holidays when it was the wettest time up-country."
Christopher went to Cambridge and graduated there and then applied to join the Colonial Service as an Agricultural Officer. After the usual spell at the Tropical Agriculture College in Trinidad he was posted to Tanganyika in 1952. He married Karen Falke, another Kenya resident. A few years later he left Tanganyika to go back to take over the family farm as his father decided to retire from farming and to go back and live in Scotland. Then at the time of Uhuru and the Africanisation of the settled areas he moved to South Africa.

WASHINGTON — In an effort to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of U.S. military services, the Space Force will propose a new plan to acquire high-capacity satellite communications.
Senior members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are set to be briefed on this plan in the coming weeks, said Lt. Gen. Philip Garrant, deputy chief of space operations for strategy, plans, programs and requirements
“We are working through the wideband satellite communications force design, and we’re going to brief that to the JROC sometime before early May,” Garrant told SpaceNews.
If the plan goes forward, it will inform the Pentagon’s 2025 budget proposal.
The JROC is the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, a panel led by the four-star vice chiefs of each military service. They review and validate proposed acquisition programs based on whether they align with the military’s strategic goals.
One of the responsibilities of the chief of the U.S. Space Force is to serve as the “force design architect for space,” Garrant explained. That means the Space Force has to consider the needs of the entire joint force when developing procurement plans for satellites and commercial space services.
A Space Force organization known as SWAC, short for Space Warfighting Analysis Center, is in charge of studying these needs and recommending a plan for how to meet them.
“This is what we will brief the JROC: How is Space Force going to provide wideband communications to the joint force?” Garrant said.
“That’s one of our major responsibilities as a new service. So we work very closely with the other services to make sure we incorporate their requirements so our force design is informed by all the services and not just us,” he said.
Wideband communications refers to satellites that provide high-speed data communications that allow for the transmission of large amounts of data, such as video and high-resolution images.
Growing needs across DoD
Garrant said the SWAC’s study looked at the rising demands for high-speed communications across the military services and DoD’s regional commands around the world. The needs are especially acute in remote areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited.
The military also has dramatically increased the use of bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, remote sensing and remotely operated aerial vehicles.
The wideband communications proposal will include a mix of DoD, commercial and allied nations’ satellite systems, Garrant said. “It covers Protected Tactical Satcom, and what comes after WGS.”
The Space Force has to take into account specific satcom needs such as those of the Navy. Naval forces, for example, require access to certain frequencies that operate in tough atmospheric conditions. Garrant said filling DoD’s diverse demands will require a mix of systems that operate in different orbits and provide different levels of security.
Commercial companies, he said, were invited by the SWAC to provide input for the wideband study.
The Space Force budget funds satellite procurements but it’s up to each of the services to pay for commercial services and for the ground terminals required to talk to satellites.
“We may develop a standard terminal but the services are going to have to procure the terminals themselves for their platforms,” Garrant said.
Commercial satcom options
When it comes to satcom services, Space Force is trying to take advantage of the industry’s new capabilities in high-throughput communications, said David Micha, president of Intelsat General Communications.
The company is the U.S.-based subsidiary of the global satellite operator Intelsat and provides satcom services to DoD, NASA and other agencies.
With regard to the SWAC study, Micha said in an interview, the industry sees the Space Force “really trying to make a wholehearted attempt to integrate commercial satellite offerings in with their current warfighting infrastructure.”
“They want the global coverage, the resiliency and cyber hardening that have been put into commercial satellites,” he said. The U.S. Army has seen a massive growth in demand for high data-rate communications, Micha said, and plans to start a pilot program this summer to evaluate commercial services.
The Space Force wants to work with multiple providers and with a mix of government and commercial networks because they need access to every orbit and every radio-frequency band, Micha said. “They want the ability to connect anywhere in the world. They want the low latency of low Earth orbit satellites, but when LEO is not working, they can move over to geosynchronous satellites.”

Twenty-eight children and two adults accidentally drank bleach at a day care center in Jersey City on Thursday, according to officials.
The children, aged 3 and 4, were evaluated and taken from the day care center, Growing Tree II, to Jersey City Medical Center-Barnabas Health. The children were in stable condition and expected to be released to their parents, officials said.
“We don’t think the amount they ingested is significant,” said hospital spokesman Mark Rabson.
Hospital officials were not clear how or why bleach was ingested by the children and staff.
Dr. Steven M. Marcus, the executive director of New Jersey Poison Information and Education System, said such accidents are fairly common. Hotels, restaurants and other food service outlets are required to regularly sanitize certain areas, and often use bleach and water as the solution. Despite warnings by the poison center against it, workers will often put the solution in a container — such as a brand-name water bottle or gallon jug — that can be mistaken for water.
