AGRI-OPENCORE. Accelerated delivery of robotic crop harvesting systems for horticulture
1 Apr 2023 to 31 Mar 2026
It is well accepted that due to Brexit, COVID, Ukraine and population demographics, the UK horticulture sector is heavily constrained by a lack of seasonal harvest labour. This year as crops have gone unpicked, NFU President Minette Batters stated that the sector was in an "absolute" food waste "crisis". DEFRA is working with industry to mitigate impacts....
Targeted supply chain ethylene removal to control the development of fresh produce
1 May 2015 to 31 Oct 2018

Low temperatures are currently used to extend shelf life, but the shelf life is short and energy costs are high. As a result, the supply chain for such products remains ...

1 Jan 2015 to 31 Dec 2017
One of the most costly problems growers of edible and non- edible horticulture crops face is loss in production and spoilage of harvested product to the fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea. Botrytis is commonly known as grey mould and is a significant factor in reduced shelf-life and consumer fresh produce waste. Standard 'control' techniques which involve ...

1 Aug 2013 to 31 Jan 2014
Botrytis, in a bad season can affect up to 30% of the tomato crop, potentially costing UK growers over £50 million!This is a project to show that our natural anti botrytis agents are effective against the disease. We plan to generate quantitative data to support this theory. Are the agents effective as curative and/or preventative agents.If effective thes...
