After 4 years the decision to close the potato crop modelling venture Crop4Sight Ltd has been taken. The Crop4Sight platform will cease operating in December 2023 to existing customers. A big thank you to the fantastic team, loyal customers and supporters for the experience.

#potato storage has been generally uncomplicated to date, with warm ambient conditions to allow good drying. The last few hectares maybe more challenging with impending weather.

What are wireworms? Wireworms are the larvae of click beetles and there’ about 60 species in the UK, but just 3 key species cause most damage 🥔 🐛 Growers are being invited to a crop walk in Shropshire next month to look at the pest in trial plots 👉 shorturl.at/not28

We’re pleased to see that the RPA is responding to farmer feedback by making advance BPS payments of up to 50% this month. Hopefully this will make a huge difference to UK growers while we wait the results of the 2023 potato harvest shorturl.at/ruIJX #ukgrowers #potatoes

Wireworm damage isn’t just cosmetic - this is what severe wireworm feeding damage after planting can result in. Still evident now. Some of the seed pieces were almost completely consumed by wireworm.

Blight can infect the foliage, stems and tubers, with visible symptoms appearing in just a couple of days. Look out for infection occurring after two days with a minimum temperature of 10°C 🌡️, and at least six hours of relative humidity (90%). 💧 🥔 #BlightWatch
