Importance and management of Verticillium wilt in winter oilseed rape
Disease / PR512 / Published: 22 August 2013
The aim of this project was to establish the importance of verticillium wilt in winter oilseed rape and carry out initial work on varietal resistance and the impact of agronomic factors.
Survey of current agronomic practices influencing free fatty acid content in oilseed rape during the 2012-2012 season
Variety trials / PR514 / Published: 16 July 2013
High levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in rapeseed oil were a problem in 2012, particularly in Scotland. This research looks at how region, variety, cultivation method, harvest method, drying method and storage method affected free fatty acid levels in oilseed rape during harvest 2012
Study of Fusarium langsethiae infection in UK cereals
Feed and food safety / SR23 / Published: 9 July 2013
This research sought to generate novel information on the epidemiology and life-cycle of Fusarium langsethiae to aid the development of control strategies to minimize T-2 and HT-2 mycotoxin content in cereals
Integrated management of cyst nematodes in oilseed rape
Pests / SR21 (PhD) / Published: 24 June 2013
This project aimed to: assess the distribution and potential yield losses caused by cyst nematodes in OSR, provide management advice to minimise current and future crop losses and investigate the effect of temperature on H. schachtii development.
Identification and characterisation of eyespot resistance in wheat
Disease / SR22 (PhD) / Published: 24 June 2013
The aim of this work was to develop genetic tools for plant breeders so that resistances against these pathogen species can be introduced into wheat varieties to provide reliable control of the disease.
Management of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) in winter oilseed rape
Disease / PR487 / Published: 14 January 2013
An aim of this project was to investigate the use of varietal resistance and/or soil amendments to minimise yield losses from clubroot.
Desk study to evaluate contributory causes of the current yield plateau in wheat and oilseed rape
Genetics / PR502 / Published: 13 November 2012
To address the lack of progression in UK average farm yields for wheat and oilseed rape, national yield trends were analysed in relation to cropped area, genetic improvement, weather patterns, economic influences, crop nutrition and protection, plus other aspects of agronomy (project 3760).
Improving risk assessment to minimise fusarium mycotoxins in harvested oats and malting barley
Disease / PR500 / Published: 25 October 2012
PR500
Genetic and phenotypic characterisation of Yellow Rust resistance in the cultivar alcedo
Disease / SR19 (PhD) / Published: 10 May 2012
Yellow rust resistance in the German winter wheat cv. Alcedo has been described as durable, the resistance having remained effective when grown extensively in Germany and Eastern Europe between 1975 and 1989
Forecasting eyespot development and yield losses in winter wheat
Disease / PR491 / Published: 24 April 2012
The aim of this project was to help growers to predict which crops are at risk from eyespot and are likely to give a cost-effective yield response to treatment. Data on yield, disease and agronomy were collected from field trials located throughout the UK between 2000 and 2010. Two approaches to providing decision guidelines relating to treatment of eyespot were developed.
