Two PhD opportunities are available in our group. If you're keen to discover how cyst nematodes can survive dormant for >20 years, then take a look at "Live long & prosper": findaphd.com/phds/project/l… with chriswestlab.

An understanding of the natural decline of #nematodes is likely to become more and more important for crop protection going forwards. Prof Urwin and Co. do great research and are a pleasure to work with. This is a good opportunity for prospective nematologists AHDB Potatoes

Sharing our knowledge on biofumigation at the AHDB Potatoes Welsh Potata Day and the AHDB Horticulture Narcissus Event in Lincolnshire Harper Adams University @Potatoes_West Nasamu Musa

We have a new PhD studentship: 'Utilisation of single and multiple species cover crops for the suppression of soil borne nematodes of Narcissus PhD Studentship (36 months)' - see HAU website or FindaPhD.com Please retweet! AHDB Horticulture @Potatoes_West @ Harper Adams University

If you store potatoes, best have a look at this article and video regarding clean-up of CIPC treated stores. There are options for sprout suppression going forwards; MH, ethylene, mint oil. CIPC residue is the thing to think about. ahdb.org.uk/news/how-to-re…

Thank you Chris and Amber 👏❤️ It’s so great to see farmers up and down the country going above and beyond to help their community If you or someone you know is going above and beyond to help feed the nation, please let us know so that we can spread your positivity 🙌

We'll soon be launching our summer potato webinar programme. What time would be best for us to hold our webinars?

🥔🥔🥔Great meeting this week with Produce Solutions The Potato Partnership CUPGRA Hearing from Dr Bill Watts looking at how varieties perform +/- nematicide in his stratified PCN resistance and tolerance trial. Thanks to Nigel Adams for hosting and sharing his Regen steps in potatoes

Trial prep over in Shropshire today. What a team Innovative Farmers Produce Solutions Dr Ben Clunie Hutchinsons Thanks to Griff for all his hard work and seed supplied FOC by Hutchinson’s Thanks everyone #wireworms

#Biofumigation of #PotatoCystNematode (#PCN) in South Staffs today. Hammer tine flail with Imants Spader. Forward speed 2.5kph, incorporation depth c.350mm. Crop c.60t ha fresh weight. Soil moisture slightly sub optimal at c.25% field capacity, but overall, an excellent job!

#IndianMustard #Biofumigation of #PotatoCystNematode (#PCN). Single pass system; hammer flail with spader and smear roll.

It’s that time of the year when we select our new varieties bred by JHI. Some very promising crosses including this Tyson x Karelia beauty! James Hutton Institute

Another season nearly out and some major highlights to reflect on. Great to see the cotils of Jersey in March, such a stunning Island. Then there’s selection day in Scotland. My favourite work day of the year. Have we found gold amongst the crates of potatoes!? 🥔 Hope so!

#CommonwealthPotatoCollection James Hutton Institute; an incredible resource and treasure trove of R genes 🧬 a lot of work goes into identifying these genes and then working them into varieties such as those in our development programme and portfolio GreenvaleAP Greenvale Seed

191 #potato trial plots lifted last week between the showers; 33 plots graded and defect assessed. Not a bad effort from the Produce Solutions team. Great to see some positive yields in our #PotatoCystNematode (#PCN) tolerance and resistance screening trial!

If you're looking for IPM options for PCN control then you may well be interested in our field meeting in Shropshire next week - optimising use of DeCyst trap crops. Register in the link below. #potato #pcn #IPM

Great to have placed a wireworm trial on a wireworm site, but 178 holes on a single tuber is perhaps a bit too good #wireworm Produce Solutions

WE ARE RECRUITING Looking for an experienced agronomist to join our fabulous team in East Anglia. Helping continue the support to the great potato growers we work with, the Greenvale supply chains, and our extensive and expanding field trial operations.
