Non-chemical pest control method showing exciting results
Research on using non-chemical methods to control potato pests is delivering groundbreaking results.
A newly published paper from the Biology Husbandry Unit (BHU) Future Farming Centre and Lincoln University, detailing the results of field trials, shows the use of a mesh cover over the plants was very effective in controlling tomato potato psyllid, or TPP, as well as reducing potato blight.
One of the authors of A field evaluation of the effectiveness of mesh crop covers for the protection of potatoes from tomato potato psyllid, Dr Charles Merfield, says TPP can potentially cause severe crop loss due to phytotoxic saliva and transmission of the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter Solanacearum.
The bacterium is believed to cause diseases such as psyllid yellows in tomatoes and potatoes, and zebra chip symptoms in potato tubers.
The potential in the developed world to use mesh which is very safe, in place of chemicals, is very exciting, Dr Merfield says.
The arrival of TPP in New Zealand led to potato, tomato and pepper growers increasing their frequency of insecticide use, which disrupted integrated pest management programmes that were already in place, he says.
Over two growing seasons in Canterbury, potatoes growing under mesh covers were found to have much reduced numbers of TPP nymphs and adults, increased tuber size, increased overall yield and enhanced storage potential compared to uncovered plots.
There had been no effective TPP controls for purely organic growers.
The mesh can also control a wide range of pests on many different field crops, for example, it is already being used by organic growers to control root fly on carrots, Dr Merfield says.

FARMERS in Gloucestershire are set to benefit from the launch of a new industry standard for pest control.
The initiative is designed to promote professional standards for pest control companies throughout the European Union.
It was launched at a conference on Tuesday organised by the umbrella trade body for urban pest control, the Confederation of European Pest Management Associations (CEPA).
CEPA President Bertrand Montmoreau believes the changes will have far-reaching benefits, particularly for the farming industry.
This will ensure pest controllers can benchmark themselves against the best in Europe and thats great news for farmers," he said.
We know that in many European markets, there are some pest controllers who are untrained and do not stay up-to-date with the latest products, pests and legislation, and that can create big problems for us all.
But with the new standard and certification scheme, farmers can be totally confident theyre getting a professional service.
It was five years ago CEPA set out to develop a standard by which professional companies in pest management could be measured. Now, the standard and accompanying certification scheme delivers that concerted and co-ordinated strategy.
Mr Montmoreau added: This will enable us to portray a positive image to the general public of the vital role that our industry plays at a European level in terms of public health, food safety, environmental sustainability and economic significance. It is a key part of our effort to protect citizens responsibly.

FARMING: Gloucestershire farmers will benefit from new industry standards
The annual competition, sponsored by Cuprinol, is open to shed owners all over the country, but 2015 is the first year that Walter Micklethwait has entered.
Micklethwait's shed began life as a dilapidated hen house two years ago, with a rusted sheet-metal roof and wormwood-rotted joints. Beginning the restoration project, Micklethwait, who owns Inshriach estate, re-roofed the building during a blizzard before laying an oak parquet floor salvaged from a bar in nearby Aviemore.

With insulation left over from building materials used on a children's TV show, the shed began to take shape and the one-time antique dealer utilised glass doors and patio doors from the tip to finish the project.
The shed comprises the estate's farm shop, a ladies' waiting room, saloon bar and gin distillery. The shed has been the nerve centre for Crossbill Gin - the first Highland gin produced by Micklethwait and Jonathan Engels, owner of Pincer vodka. Using juniper berries harvested from the Inshriach estate, Crossbill Highland Gin was distilled in copper pots still bought from Portugal and distributed to selected retailers at the end of last year.
The shed also features a bar front and cupboards gleaned from Micklethwait's other projects, sash windows from a house in Edinburgh, a crittal window from the estate's mortgage adviser, timber from scrap or seconds from a sawmill.
The hens that previously lived in the shed before it was transformed into its current guise now live in a turret built from the discarded remains of the smallest and highest railway station in the British Isles.
Micklethwait said: "We're entering the competition because everybody loves a shed.
"It's mostly daft but there is a lot of imagination and creative re-use of stuff in amongst the entries.
"If we get anywhere it will be a bit of a laugh and we get to hang out with some like minded folk and meet George Clarke and his merry band of men."

PORT VILA, Vanuatu (AP) Relief workers saw a flattened landscape and widespread destruction in their first views of Vanuatu's outer islands Tuesday after struggling for days to assess the areas of the South Pacific nation hardest hit by a fierce cyclone.
Radio and telephone communications with the outer islands were just beginning to be restored, but remained incredibly patchy three days after Cyclone Pam hit. People were expressing their need for help any way they could: flashing mirrors or marking an "H'' in white on the ground to signal planes that were surveying the outer islands.
