UKCPVS Stakeholder Event 2019

Managed by NIAB, and funded by AHDB and Defra, the UK Cereal Pathogen Virulence Survey (UKCPVS) receives infected cereal leaf samples from agronomists, trials officers and researchers. From these samples, pathogen isolates are selected and tested to check their virulence against wheat and barley varieties. The testing can detect new races of cereal pathogens capable of causing disease on previously resistant cereal varieties.

Targeted at breeders, crop scientists and technical agronomists, the annual stakeholder event reports on recent seedling and adult plant nursery tests. It features a number of related technical papers based on pathogen virulence experience from across the globe.
