2023 Collaborative R&D

Potato LITE – Low Intensity Tillage Enhancements for Sustaining Potato Production in Future Regenerative Agricultural Systems

1 Feb 2023 to 31 Jan 2027

Awarded
£131,612
Total cost £263,225

The intensity and frequency of potato cultivation operations are damaging to soil health and do not fit with the current drive towards Regenerative Agriculture and Net Zero. Deep, destoned seedbeds are judged as a necessity within the industry to avoid tuber damage. Whilst reduced tillage technologies are enabling regenerative agriculture in cereal system...

2018 Collaborative R&D

Targeted Innovation in the UK Seed Potato Industry to Improve Productivity and Quality

1 Dec 2018 to 28 Feb 2021

Awarded
£30,110
Total cost £60,219

"Potatoes are the UK's largest vegetable category, producing 5-6 million tonnes p.a. valued at approximately £1.1bn. Production is relatively stable but prices and supply are volatile, with underlying issues including weather effects and related to these, disease. Bacterial pathogens of potatoes in particular are responsible for substantial losses through...

2015 BIS-Funded Programmes

TuberZone – Development of an innovative spatial crop model and decision support system for improved potato agronomy

1 May 2015 to 31 May 2018

Awarded
£12,000
Total cost £60,002

The potato industry has witnessed a 10-year long yield stagnation; coupled with increasingly stringent demands on potato quality, there is a compelling need for farmers to increase marketable yield. This project aims to develop an innovative spatial crop model & integrated decision support system for improved variable rate seed planting, fertiliser use & ...

Developing Bacteriophage Technology to Optimise Potato Production

1 Jul 2014 to 28 Feb 2018

Awarded
£16,173
Total cost £32,346

Bacterial pathogens of potatoes are responsible for substantial losses through disease, damage and failure to meet market specifications. An effective, sustainable solution is a priority across the UK and wider European industry. This project will build on proof-of-concept data from a previous TSB project in which an innovative biocontrol technology based...

2011 Collaborative R&D

Application of association mapping and genomic sequencing to modern potato breeding: improved tools, traits and germplasm

1 Aug 2011 to 31 Jan 2015

Awarded
£3,635
Total cost £36,347

Free Living Nematodes (FLN) are emerging as a major problem for UK potato growers, exacerbated in the short term by removal of approved nematicides and in the long-term by expected population increases due to climate change. FLN cause direct damage by feeding on potato roots reducing yields and quality, and indirectly by transmitting Tobacco Rattle Virus ...

2011 Collaborative R&D

Strategies for Quantifying and Controlling Free Living Nematode Populations and Consequent Damage by Tobacco Rattle Virus to Improve Potato Yield and Quality

1 Jan 2011 to 30 Jun 2016

Awarded
£13,968
Total cost £139,675

Free Living Nematodes (FLN) are emerging as a major problem for UK potato growers, exacerbated in the short term by removal of approved nematicides and in the long-term by expected population increases due to climate change.
