DeCyst - Factors affecting trap crop success against PCN

该项目的目的是提高对“DeCyst”茄子诱捕器作物的现有知识，以及英格兰和英国其他马铃薯种植区的马铃薯种植者如何最好地利用这些作物来控制PCN。项目合作伙伴包括Product Solutions、CHAP、Harper Adams University、VCS(马铃薯)和五名马铃薯种植者，他们已经在种植诱捕作物，作为其PCN综合控制方法的一部分。目前，作为PCN控制的可行经济工具，DeCyst诱捕种植推广的障碍包括不断增加的种子和建立成本，以及在英国建立作物所需的具有挑战性的管理和种植者对诱捕作物的知识。除了改进建立技术外，该项目旨在研究DeCyst诱捕作物的新品种的使用，以及在轮作中现有作物之间种植它们的机会，而不需要替代-从而释放诱捕作物用作秋冬覆盖作物的潜力。我们的目标是通过了解：*播种量*播期(DeCyst-Podium)*营养(磷和钾)*建立方法我们还将制定种植标准，并通过审查以下内容为种植者生成比较数据：*物种/产品对不同耕作制度的适应性*间作钻探和日期*钻探(土壤固结和营养)和杂草控制方法将为新的种植者指南提供关于DeCyst诱捕作物的信息，以及它们如何最适合PCN综合控制方法。这将提供最佳做法的证据，以实现最佳水平的建立和效力，并与其他非化学替代品进行比较。这将使种植者有信心采用诱捕作物作为PCN综合管理方法的一部分，并确保英国马铃薯生产在失去更有价值的PCN控制方法的不幸情况下仍然可行。

The aim of this project is to improve on the current knowledge of "DeCyst" solanaceous trap crops, and how they are best utilized for PCN control by potato growers in England and the other potato growing regions of the UK. The project partners include Produce Solutions, CHAP, Harper Adams University, VCS (Potatoes) and five potato growers who are already growing trap crops as part of their integrated approach to PCN control.Current barriers to expansion of DeCyst trap cropping as a viable economic tool for PCN control include the increasing seed and establishment costs, coupled with challenging management required for crop establishment and grower knowledge of trap crops in the UK. In addition to improving establishment techniques, the project aims to look at the use of new species of DeCyst trap crops and the opportunity to grow them in between existing crops in the rotation without the need for substitution - thus unlocking the potential for use of trap crops as autumn and winter cover cropsWe aim to optimise crop establishment through understanding:* Seed rate* Sowing date (DeCyst-Podium)* Nutrition (Phosphate and Potassium)* Establishment methodWe will also develop cropping standards and generate comparison data for growers through examining:* Suitability of species/products for different farming systems* Intercrop drilling and date* Drilling (soil consolidation and nutrition) and weed control methodsTogether this will inform a new grower guide to DeCyst trap crops and how they fit best in an integrated approach to PCN control. This will provide evidence of best practice to achieve optimal levels of establishment and efficacy, alongside comparison to other non-chemical alternatives. This will enable growers to be confident in adopting trap crops as part of an integrated approach to PCN management and ensure UK potato production remains viable should it be in the unfortunate situation of losing any more valuable PCN control methods.
