OVERVIEW
With the agricultural industry losing more chemicals from their toolbox every year, researchers are working closely with seed potato farmers to identify how to address disease threats using alternative and more integrated pest management (IPM) schemes.
Farmer-owned cooperative, Scottish Agronomy, has been running world-class trials in collaboration with their farmer members, with the aim of translating science into action on a practical level, to identify what works, with a view to sharing these findings more widely.
