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，英国的覆盆子产量为1.09亿英镑，但每年还会进口1.1万吨浆果，价值5900万英镑。年产果量增加20%。在英国，预计将减少2.8KT的进口，并使英国工业年产值增加1570万GB。然而，需要改进农场对水和化肥投入的管理，以优化生产率；目前，过度施肥种植树莓会导致甘蔗生长旺盛，这使得作物管理困难，收获成本高昂。养分淋失也对地下水质量构成风险。我们将使用新型亲和力传感器与模糊逻辑相结合，自动调整养分输入，以实时满足植物需求，减少化肥对环境的损失，并提高浆果质量。压力预处理和丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)将被用于提高适销对路的产量，改善资源的利用和获取，并增加作物对胁迫的弹性。
