| Provision of a Weather station network for HGCA Recommended List Variety Trial field sites Variety trials / CP3802 / Published: 29 April 2013 HGCA conducts approximately 300 field trials annually to provide data on the performance of cereal and oilseed varieties. |
| Exploring the genetic and mechanistic basis of resistance to Take-all disease in wheat Disease / CP3777 / Published: 29 April 2013 Take-all, caused by the fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var tritici, is one of the most damaging diseases of wheat and barley in the UK and elsewhere. |
| Combating insecticide resistance in major UK pests Pests / 3780 / Published: 22 April 2013 Our overall aim is to maintain effective chemical control of economically important pests of agriculture and horticulture by using appropriate insecticide resistance management strategies. |
| Identification and characterisation of Rhynchosporium genes activating barley resistance Disease / CP3773 / Published: 11 March 2013 This project aims to identify candidate triggers of resistance comparing genome sequences of 9 R. commune strains |
| An evidence-based review on the likely economic and environmental impact of genetically modified cereals and oilseeds for UK agriculture Environment / CP3810 / Published: 21 February 2013 There has been widespread uptake of genetically modified (GM) crops globally since they became commercially available in the mid 1990’s. This has had a significant impact on global agriculture and their use continues to grow in areas of the world where they are approved for use |
| Delivery of improved oilseed rape decision support tools – 2012-13 season Disease / CP3781 / Published: 31 January 2013 Delivery of improved oilseed rape decision support tools – 2012-13 season |
| Modern triticale crops for increased yields, reduced inputs, increased profitability and reduced greenhouse gas emissions from UK cereal production Environment / CP3699 / Published: 21 January 2013 The aim of this HGCA-funded project is to add value through improving the underlying science and understanding of the questions relevant to arable growers, and by providing additional communication with growers and other stakeholders through the normal HGCA KT mechanisms. |
| Bioenergy from wheat straw Environment / CP3741 / Published: 21 January 2013 The aim of the project is to investigate how winter wheat varieties vary in their potential as feedstock for lignocellulosic biofuel production and quantify the economic and environmental impacts of their use as feedstock |
| Agricultural biomass supply chain GHG reporting Industrial uses / CP3772 / Published: 21 January 2013 This project is intended to collate and present greenhouse gas (GHG) data representing the UK agricultural supply chain for three industrial use crops; oilseed rape for biodiesel, wheat for bioethanol and miscanthus for bio-power |
| Control of insecticide-resistant grain aphids, Sitobian avenae, and BYDV in winter cereals Pests / CP3797 / Published: 21 January 2013 This project will benefit growers and agronomists by informing them of the optimum control strategy to reduce the risk of BYDV when resistance grain aphids are present. |
