mend the programme to any pota- to growers who were considering applying. “The benefits are cer- tainly measurable,” he added.


Important work Work on PCN was presented to audiences by Graham Tomalin, head of agronomist firm VCS Potatoes. One of several speak- ers discussing projects from the last few years, Mr Tomalin said it was important to realise the difference between PCN resist- ance and PCN tolerance. He also presented findings


from a three year demonstra- tion programme looking at a va- riety of different residual herbi- cide combinations. With growers faced with an ev-


er-shrinking toolkit following the revocation of linuron and diquat, Mr Tomalin warned that costs were likely to rise for growers.

Elveden Estate has seen an incredible term as Strategic Potato Farm East


The best combination of products was the one tailored to the grow- er’s own weed spectrum, he said.


Nitrogen uptake Mark Stalham and Marc Allison – both senior research associates at potato agronomy group NIAB CUF – reported on work looking at the application of nitrogen to crops. Driving big yields was a matter of how much nitrogen we can get into the crop and at what rate, said Dr Allison. AHDB senior knowledge ex-


change manager Graham Ban- nister, said: “Elveden Estate has seen an incredible term as Stra- tegic Potato Farm East and we’re exceedingly grateful for Andrew’s engagement with the whole pro- gramme.” AHDB Potatoes has five Stra-


tegic Potato Farms spread across Great Britain, part of a network of over 60 farms in AHDB’s Farm Excellence programme. Strategic Farms supply the industry with the confidence to implement new ideas and make business im- provements.
