Study seeks to control potato cyst nematode

摘要

In Shropshire, the United Kingdom, five potato growers are taking part in trials to find out whether mustard grown as a biofumigant crop could help to control potato cyst nematode. The research by Harper Adams University College is funded by the Potato Council. Simultaneous laboratory studies at the University of Leeds will test the potency of different mustard varieties. Crop protection and agronomy company Agrovista is also helping with the project.
