Excited to be Harper Adams University for Symposium on Potato Cyst Nematodes, which explores strategies to mitigate the impact of these very damaging pests. 🥔🪱 Online registration still available! 🕸️ web.cvent.com/event/56a2ab8b…

Excited to welcome around 150 new Agrics to Harper Adams University today as their Course Manager, a new chapter for me and for them! They passed their first test with flying colours managing to spell out AGRIC on the cricket pitch. Thanks to Dr Andrew Watson for the drone imagery.

Would you ever consider non-crop annual plants (eg annual wildflowers) to support pollination, natural pest control or other ecosystem services on-farm? We would love to hear your thoughts.

Braving the frost with my colleague Simon Edwards and our group of PgC students taking the Plant Health Practices. We still managed to find 10 different symptoms of disease and pest damage on oilseed rape, sugar beet and winter wheat! Harper Adams University

🆕 In our newly published paper in Forests, we explored how wood incubation influences the detection of the #pinewood_nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) in both pallet samples and fresh wood 🗞️ Read the paper at mdpi.com/1999-4907/16/2… | doi.org/10.3390/f16020…
