Some of the rarest plants in England are found on arable and mixed farms.
Many arable plants and their communities are under threat of extinction due to intensive winter cropping and the use of fertilisers and residual herbicides. Changing the timing of cultivations and cropping and avoiding broad spectrum herbicides can increase the chances of rare plants surviving in our arable fields.
