Potato Partnership shares findings in Suffolk

THE potato industry was well represented in Suffolk this July to hear about the latest potato cyst nematode trials, which The Potato Partnership (TPP) is conducting this season.

Integrated control measures for potato cyst nematode (PCN) were once again on display at the TPP East demo site. With a background pressure of nine to 116 eggs of Globodera pallida per gram of soil, it was a tough test for the varieties, nematicides and biological control solutions on trial.

Full coverage of the event and the findings will be published in the September issue of British Potato Review. Click here to receive a free copy.
