UK raspberry production was worth £109M in 2014, but a further 11KT of berries, worth £59M, areimported each year. A 20% increase in the 14KT of fruit produced p.a. in the UK could be expected toreduce imports by 2.8KT, and raise the value of the UK industry by £15.7M p.a.. However, improved on-farm management of water and fertiliser inputs is needed to optimise productivity; currently, excessivefertigation to substrate-grown raspberry result in vigorous cane growth which makes crop managementdifficult and harvesting costly. Nutrient leaching also poses a risk to groundwater quality. We will usenovel affinity sensors combined with fuzzy logic to automatically adjust nutrient inputs to match plantdemand in real time, reduce fertiliser losses to the environment and improve berry quality. Stresspreconditioning and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) will be used to raise marketable yields, improveresource use and acquisition, and increase crop resilience to stresses.

2014年，英国覆盆子的产量价值1.09亿英镑，但每年还要进口11万吨覆盆子，价值5900万英镑。在英国，每年14万吨水果产量增加20%，预计将减少2.8万吨的进口，并使英国工业的价值每年增加1570万英镑。然而，需要改进对水和肥料投入的农场管理，以优化生产力；目前，对底栽覆盆子的过度施肥导致甘蔗生长旺盛，这使得作物管理困难，收获成本高。养分浸出也对地下水质量构成威胁。我们将使用结合模糊逻辑的新型亲和传感器，实时自动调整养分输入以匹配植物需求，减少肥料对环境的损失，提高浆果品质。胁迫预处理和丛枝菌根真菌（AMF）将用于提高适销产量，改善资源利用和获取，并提高作物对胁迫的抵御能力。
