More on Aphid and TuYV News!

The data on Aphid and TuYV news below are being collected as part of a new BBSRC HAPI project led by Dr John Walsh. Peach potato aphids from the Rothamsted Insect Survey suction traps at Wellesbourne, Warwickshire and Kirton, Lincolnshire and yellow water traps adjacent to cabbage crops in Warwickshire and Lincolnshire are being tested for the presence of Turnip yellows virus (TuYV; formerly known as Beet western yellows virus). The virus has been shown to significantly reduce yields of vegetable brassicas, cause tipburn in cabbage and also infect oilseed rape. This is part of a new BBSRC HAPI research project led by Dr John Walsh at the University of Warwick. The project involves a collaboration with colleagues at Rothamsted Research and Allium and Brassica Agronomy and will investigate the development of integrated approaches, including genomic aspects, for pest and disease control in horticultural field crops Press release on the new round of HAPI projects involving the University of Warwick. Most of the funding comes from BBSRC http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/news/food-security/2015/150601-n-4m-fund-important-food-crops/ with additional funding from industry partners including AHDB Horticulture, Syngenta UK Ltd., Dow Agro Sciences Ltd., A L Tozer Ltd., Sakata UK Ltd., Enza Zaden UK Ltd. B.V. and Rijk Zwaan UK Ltd.

Over the next 3 years, weekly information on the numbers of peach potato trapped and the numbers carrying TuYV will be posted on the AHDB Horticulture Pest Blog.
