FOLLOWING the successful launch of the new technical guide on PCN, ‘A Guide for Managing PCN in Great Britain’, to members, GB Potatoes and CUPGRA have now released a free industry-wide factsheet to summarise key points in the main guide.
The concise practical resource aims to support everyone in the potato industry to improve their understanding of PCN, its management and control and can be downloaded free from both organisations’ websites.
CEO of GB Potatoes Scott Walker said: “Managing PCN is a challenge for the entire industry and requires collective understanding and effort. This factsheet presents vital information in an accessible format, and we hope that it will be distributed far and wide.”
Director of CUPGRA David Almond added: “When we designed this factsheet, the intention was to make the incredibly-technical subject of PCN more accessible. We see it as a useful tool to remind everyone of the important steps that can be used to help reduce the problem, from field operatives to technical managers in the supply chain.”
Hard copies will also be available at the British Potato Event in Harrogate on the November 19th and 20th and Potatoes in Practice in August.
Both organisations said they were grateful to Gerard Croft for his assistance in compiling the factsheet.
