Our History
Sir Henry Gilbert
1817-1901
Sir John Bennet Lawes
1814-1900
Developed a fundamental understanding of plant
nutrition and produced the world’s first commercial
chemical fertilisers
Rothamsted Experimental Station (now known as Rothamsted Research) was established in in 1843 by:

Smart Crop Protection: Strategic relevance
Maintaining and enhancing crop protection is a critical facet of Sustainable Intensification.
“The UK needs to develop a more
integrated, whole-system approach to
animal and plant health science”
• Monitoring and surveillance
• Novel targets / new interventions
• Reduce pest adaptation
• Integration of control methods
• Evidence-based crop protection
• Minimise trade-offs

International collaboration priorities
Previous organic approach lead to collaborations in 58 countries in the recent years.
International strategy now focuses on consolidating partnerships and developing new joint programmes based on:
• Aligned excellent science
• Potential for impact
• Strong partners
• Opportunities for funding
• Attractiveness for bi-directional exchange
Recent activities: CGIAR, China, Brazil, East Africa, India, few other countries (e.g. Uruguay), Global Farm Platform network
