Abstract
In 2024 a field trial was established which aimed to provide information on the integrated control of Globodera pallida. This report publishes the results of the field trial planted at Barnyards Farm on 23/05/2024 - a location with a moderate-high PCN population. The trial consisted of 9 potato varieties (Maris Piper, Elland, Eurostar, Buster, Amanda, Karelia, Bruar, Olivia, and Paradox) with varying levels of resistance to both G. Pallida and G. Rostochiensis. Replicates of each variety were treated with either Nemathorin 10G (30 kg/ha, a.i. Fosthiazate), Velum Prime (0.625 L/ha in furrow a.i. fluopyram), or left untreated.
