Background
Pesticides are under threat…Authorisation directive 91/414/EEC replaced by EC 1107/2009
UK agriculture’s Gross Value Added (GVA) could fall by c. £1.6bn per annum if key agrochemicals are revoked(Andersons, 2014)
Potato cyst nematodes:
A2 quarantine pest for EPPO
Persistent: Encysted eggs can persist for 20+ years
Widespread: 64% of England & Wales/26% wareland in Scotland
Economically damaging: Up to 80% yield loss/GB cost c. £26M per annum

AHDB – PCN Management GuideSue Hockland - Matthew Back - Vivian Blok - Ivan Grove - John Jones - Adrian Roberts – Jon Pickup
The provision of content document will cover recent developments in our understanding of: -
• length of rotation• cultivars and evidence of effect on yield• varietal resistance and tolerance• influence of chemical treatments and their incorporation• novel treatments such as biofumigation and trap cropping

Nematicide Stewardship Programme
• Joint industry approach • Set minimum stewardship standards for application of all nematicides• Core values
• Protect the environment• Protect the consumer• Protect the operator
• Incorporated into the Red Tractor Assurance Scheme• To be incorporated within the Voluntary initiative Programme• Three season time frame for industry adoption

Biofumigation
The performance of biofumigant cover crops is variable….Many growers are scepticalCommercially available cultivars lack supporting data

Solanum sysymbriifolium/trap cropping
• Available in UK as DeCyst and Foil-sis
• Stimulate hatching but PCN do not develop cysts
• Typically grown from May to October

Other management considerations
• Hygiene: soil movement, management of volunteer potatoes
• Biological control – no commercially available products available yet
• Novel methods

New AHDB PhD studentship on root lesion nematodes
• Molecular assays for root lesion nematode species (JHI/HAU)
• Determine the distribution of Pratylenchus spp in potato growing land
• Determine potato damage thresholds for Pratylenchusspecies
• Conduct field based studies to assess the performance of damage thresholds
• Determine whether a relationship exists between Pratylenchus species and Rhizoctonia solani

R&D - next steps
• More data on tolerance• Greater Globodera pallida resistance for pre-pack/better
uptake of these cultivars• Development of the PCN model• Biofumigation – still questions unanswered• Novel cover crop species
