**-AdvanceYeastProt** aims to create an unprecedented low-emission, indulgent, highly structured protein and vitamin enriched yeast-based "whole-cut" food product, to answer consumers' and market demands, while boosting the reduction of food loss and freshwater usage by promoting the recovery of vegetable retailers' side-streams while creating -The necess...

This project aims to assess the feasibility of a low-carbon, innovative seaweed-based mulch film to replace conventional and un-recyclable films. This represents a significant improvement over existing biodegradable polymer solutions, often made using petroleum-based materials. Our agricultural film will be suitable for organic farming and help support cr...

As with many developed countries the UK's agricultural land is under pressure to provide food to a growing population in the most efficient and sustainable manner. There is an added opportunity and responsibility for countries like the UK to take the lead in developing solutions for the UNSDG's in this case \#2 Zero Hunger. Airborne pathogens infect cerea...

Onion storage diseases cause significant economic losses worldwide ,and £10 to £11m losses in the UK per year alone (Taylor et. al. ,2016; AHDB, 2015),in a UK industry worth £126m (DEFRA).Currently onion growers destructively sample onion stores in making decisions when to empty stores and market the onions. This method is both statistically inaccurate in...

The objective is to determine whether plasma treatments, particularly those using cold atmospheric plasma, can improve the health and quality of crops by improving seedling emergence, vigour, disease control, as well as biochemical reactivity. If successful, this would lead to healthier crops whilst reducing the chemical burden on the environment. Manipul...

The maintenance of global food security, mediated by sustainable intensification of agriculture, is a recognised global issue and the effective management of plant disease is critical to productive cropping of agricultural land. Potato is the third most important food crop globally, with late blight control being a major challenge estimated to cost £3.5bi...

A hand held device that measures spray deposits on crops so that they can be rapidly quantified by spray operators in the field will be developed. This will enable spray operators to determine and optimise sprayer performance e.g. according to crop structure, growth and weather conditions, as well as quality assure spray applications and check for off-tar...

Application of correct amounts of water to the mushroom crop at suitable intervals is essential in obtaining high yields and quality, and avoiding bacterial blotch disease. Although automated irrigation systems can apply known volumes of water to the surface ‘casing’ layer, the decision to apply water is subjective, depending on visual observation of the ...

Weed control is becoming increasingly difficult due to herbicide resistant weeds and restriction of herbicides due to higher regulatory demands. In cereals, herbicide resistant blackgrass is a severe problem with no good solution and weed control in minor crops, such as vegetables, is now extremely problematic as older herbicides have been de-registered. ...

This project aims to develop an integrated control strategy for the cabbage root fly (CRF) on radish. G's Fresh supplies ca. 65% of all the radish to the UK market and is forced to rely on routine application of chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus insecticide, to control CRF. This pesticide has a number of undesirable characteristics, is rarely 100% effecti...
