Soil Essentials is a leading precision-farming SME based in Scotland becoming increasingly engaged in innovative R&D to boost agricultural productivity. A major challenge exists with detection and control of cyst nematodes (CN), which are currently associated with UK economic losses of £38 M pa. With the additional pressure of the foreseeable nematicide ban, the opportunity for new in-field diagnostics for more efficient on-farm decision making is timely. However, successful translation of existing CN assays from lab to field is being hindered by the challenging multi-step sample processing requirements necessary to isolate CN from soil samples prior to analysis. This innovation voucher will give us access to a cutting-edge sample processing technology platform, which has the potential to bridge the gap between lab-based CN diagnostics and in-field commercial requirements. If successful, it will open up possibilities for future UK-based collaborative R&D investment.

Soil Essentials是一家领先的精准农业中小企业，总部位于苏格兰，致力于创新研发，以提高农业生产力。一个主要的挑战存在于囊肿线虫（CN）的检测和控制，目前与英国每年3800万英镑的经济损失有关。随着可预见的杀线虫剂禁令带来的额外压力，新的现场诊断方法为更有效的农场决策提供了及时的机会。然而，现有的CN分析从实验室到现场的成功转化受到了具有挑战性的多步骤样品处理要求的阻碍，这些要求是在分析之前从土壤样品中分离CN所必需的。这张创新券将使我们能够使用尖端的样品处理技术平台，该平台有可能弥合基于实验室的CN诊断与现场商业需求之间的差距。如果成功，它将为未来英国的合作研发投资开辟可能性。
