*New R&D Project* 🧅🧅🧅 Excited to be involved in the FUSED project, developing new IPM practices for Fusarium basal rot of Onion with @BhiveInnovation and others. 🚜👩🔬📷🧬 A great example of stacking technologies from pre-planting through to post-harvest. @CHAPAgriTech
Fusarium Basal Rot (FBR) represents a significant threat to the UK onion industry, with losses reaching 40% & costing the industry over £10M per year🧅 A research project has been launched to combat the devastating pre & post-harvest losses caused by FBR https://t.co/XQz9VGrxtj

Great discussions today at the @CHAPAgriTech hosted alternative plant protein workshop in Birmingham! It was great to work together from in cross-discipline groups to create a shortlist and highlight some of the practical barriers for incorporation into commercial agriculture!
