4th Symposium of PCN Management

Embracing new potato varieties will help growers in the fight against economically damaging pest, Potato Cyst Nematode; was the key message of the 4th Symposium of PCN Management conference held in September 2015 held on behalf of the Association of Applied Biologists (AAB).

Findings and evidence was presented on the suppression of PCN as well as some alternative methods discussed. Legislation was also a key topic and how it is currently being implemented across Scotland.
