2024 Grant for R&D

Smarter Forecasting, Communication and Management of Frost Risk in Vineyards

1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2025

Awarded
£57,253
Total cost £81,790

Viticulture is currently the fastest expanding UK agricultural sector; there has been a rapid recent growth in both the number and total hectarage of UK vineyards, demonstrating a marked increase in investor confidence. Nevertheless, despite an overall warming climate, significant ongoing economic losses continue to be incurred in vineyards in the UK and ...

2019 Collaborative R&D

BerryPredictor: Improving harvest forecasts, yield predictions and crop productivity by monitoring and optimising zonal phytoclimates in covered strawberry production

1 Dec 2019 to 30 Nov 2022

Awarded
£55,433
Total cost £79,190

There is increasing consumer and retailer demand for high-quality UK-grown strawberries, and this will increase further post-BREXIT as retailers favour British produce. Currently, c. 30% (Defra) of strawberries consumed in the UK are imported, and so there is a great opportunity to displace these, often inferior, imports during the home-grown season and b...

2019 BIS-Funded Programmes

Developing strategies to alleviate heat stress-induced flower abortion and prevent yield losses in fine and runner beans for commercial growers and for small-holder farmers in Kenya.

1 Jul 2019 to 30 Sep 2022

Awarded
£57,618
Total cost £82,312

Climate models predict that yields of major crops in Africa will decline by up to 8% by 2020 and 10-20% by 2050. Higher temperatures, exacerbated by decreasing water availability for irrigation, will become the primary threat to fine and runner bean production. New varieties and improved growing practices that increase resilience to combined stresses are ...

2016 BIS-Funded Programmes

Improving consistency of yields and quality of large-scale and small-holder bean production in Kenya by precision management of soil, water and pathogens

1 Oct 2016 to 30 Sep 2019

Awarded
£12,620
Total cost £28,081

Delivering consistent supplies of high quality fresh produce is a significant challenge for Kenya’s fresh veg. growers. Yields of beans range from 5 to 50T/ha and up to 40% of produce is of poor quality, due to ineffective irrigation and soil-borne diseases. A 12% increase in average yield and a 20% reduction in waste would raise Class 1 yields by 978T/ye...

2016 BIS-Funded Programmes

Developing a decision support system to improve crop management, yield forecasting and resource use efficiency in UK soft fruit production

1 Jan 2016 to 31 Dec 2018

Awarded
£13,965
Total cost £23,275

The UK soft fruit industry has invested heavily in new technologies and marketable yields have increased 3-fold in recent years, but further increases are possible if crop agronomy is optimised. However, 33% of all harvested fruit is wasted each year, due to disorders such as rots, bruising and a poor shelf-life that are exacerbated in changeable weather....
