Field lab on wire worm

Growers invited to join trialling

UK GROWERS are being invited to take part in a wire worm survey and trial by not-for-profit membership network Innovative Farmers.
 
Are you a field scale potato grower fed up with wire worm damage and interested in trialling sustainable pest management strategies like biofumigation or cover crops?  

After feedback from the farming community we’re doing an initial scoping exercise to build a field lab on the topic, followed by a workshop to take place in late February.
