Cysts on roots

The 6th Symposium of Potato Cyst Nematode Management will cover many aspects, including international distribution, genetic diversity, sampling and decision making, population dynamics, diagnostics, integrated management, biology and application of resistance, use of effectors, rotational control, chemical control, biological control and novel control methods such as RNAi and biofumigation.

AAB have a history of organising the Symposium of Potato Cyst Nematode Management including a 2019 meeting that was also held in Harper Adams. We are happy to supply the PDF of the conference papers from that event.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Integrated Pest Management highlights the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. IPM is one of the tools for low-pesticide-input pest management, and IPM must now be implemented by all professional agchem users.

Plant Diseases

Diseases infect susceptible plant hosts, where environmental conditions favor disease development. Infected crops achieve lower yields and the quality of the produce can also be affected.

Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN)

The Potato Cyst Nematode damages the roots causing poor growth, wilting during periods of water stress and early senescence.

Association of Applied Biologists (AAB)

AAB are a learned society and charity focused across many areas of Applied Biology.

Potatoes

Potatoes are an important UK crop grown over 140,000 ha producing 5.5 Million tonnes
