Project code: JKI-EP-08-2358
Contract period: 01.07.2019 - 31.05.2023
Purpose of research: Applied research

The increasing introduction of new crops in Europe are an opportunity for growers to produce for niche markets. These new crops, as well as “forgotten” crops, are mainly grown and marketed outside the general, large-scale commercial agriculture. Especially when planting material is obtained from non-European countries, phytosanitary risks can be high. The project will focus on a selection of vegetatively propagated tuber producing crops that are gaining a lot of interest, yet for which only limited information on the phytosanitary status is available. The focus of risk identification will be put on viruses and nematodes due to their high potential for introduction without being noticed due to lack of typical symptoms.
