I’ve got a funded PhD position available to work with me on Barley-Ramularia interaction, starting in Sept 2024 in UCD Dublin, Ireland. RTs appreciated! 🙏 🙏https://t.co/DOSnC9KpFU

[Gemma Merrins @MerrinsG]

As part of my MSc in Agriculture Extension and Innovation, I am carrying out a research topic for my thesis entitled “Investigating the factors that affect farmers decisions to adopt biological products and IPM strategies on Irish tillage farms”

@Llewelyn68 @GoodgerSimon @agronomytrainer @BenHipperson @allohexaploid @ssmshah @reglimagrain @Blackthorncox @Cammurray5 @fayeritchie Looks like yellow rust scaring to me, last close up especially. I’d imagine if this case it wouldn’t be uniform across field, but worse in spots.

To further celebrate International Day of Plant Health, we are relaunching our Photographic Competition! ☘️🌻🦗🦠📸😊

Top prize is €200, with a runner up, and student prize of €100! 💶

Details are below 👇

Remember, when taking pics, don't become a vector for disease spread!

[Steven Kildea @kildea1]

For all involved in the production of Irish horticultural crops this is a really important survey. The more information Jennifer can capture the better we can tailor our IPM strategies, which is as critical now as it ever was

[Steven Kildea @kildea1]

Realise that I look a little perplexed in the photo…..but in my defence I am looking at Z. tritici munching it’s way through wheat seedlings!

[Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine @agriculture_ie]

Minister @martinheydonfg visited @Teagasc Oakpark today to see research being carried out into sustainable disease control strategies for Irish arable and potato crops.

📍See summary of information on all the 1⃣9⃣research projects we are funding: https://t.co/c9nzi4xEze

[Steven Kildea @kildea1]

Equally delighted to have met Minster @martinheydonfg and @agriculture_ie at @teagasc today to provide an overview of the projects and to discuss wider crop production and protection issues.

[Steven Kildea @kildea1]

Delighted to have secured funding for the IPM2030 projects aiming to assess the impact of the proposed SUR, non-chemical alternatives to pesticides and crop specific guidelines.

[Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine @agriculture_ie]

Awards of over €4.2 million under the first Policy and Strategic Studies Research Call have been announced for 1⃣9⃣ projects on climate adaptation, #planthealth and pesticides, #forestry, #animalhealth and welfare, the #bioeconomy, and women in farming

@Cereals_SW @AHDB_Cereals @CatherineHar4 Was a pleasure to join you guys and give an overview of what we do and what we’re thinking with regards Septoria control. Hopefully you found it helpful @TeagascCrops

[Remco Stam @EvoMPMI]

Open PhD position! RT

We know plant pathogens are genetically diverse, but how much diversity is there within single fields?
What does that mean for overcoming resistance traits or fungicides and for diagnostics thereof?

Want to help find out? Apply!
