Sustainable potato cyst nematodes management through the use of resistant potato varieties
Project
Project code: 2815DOKP11, JKI-A-08-1228
Contract period: 01.05.2016
- 31.12.2019
Purpose of research: Applied research
This projects aims at providing sustainable control options for one of the most destructive pests of potato: the potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis). The pest threatens potato production worldwide and is therefore of global relevance. Recently, the pest was detected in Kenya, the first report in East Africa. It is therefore of prime importance that expertise on potato cyst nematode control is developed within this region. The German Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants (Julius Kühn-Institut) is one of the leading institutions on potato cyst nematode research. The Julius Kühn-Institut applies to provide training for a PhD candidate to conduct research on identification and management of potato cyst nematodes.
