What does the future of potato cyst nematode (PCN) management look like if we lose key chemistry? What do you need to think about before adopting solanaceous trap crops (STCs) into your rotation, and how do you get the best out of them?
These are just a few of the questions which the DeCyst™ project consortium have been investigating during the course of this new 2 year project, funded by Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme and UKRI’s Transforming Food Production Challenge (Innovate UK).
During this free open day on October 31st, attendees will be guided through the consortium’s second year of field trials by experts from Produce Solutions, Harper Adams University and VCS Potatoes, to showcase;
• Two STC products (DeCyst™; Prickly and Broadleaf).
• The importance of pre and post-emergence herbicides for successful DeCyst™ crop establishment.
• Wider discussion around DeCyst™ seed-rates, drill method and nutrition.
