Benefits of using silicon as a nutrient in sustainable strawberry production
Liu, Bo; Wileman, H J; Hall, Avice; Jin, Xiaolei; Asiana, Ifeoma (2021-05-05)The UK now produces 80% of the strawberries on the UK market. Silicon is not considered an essential plant nutrient, and strawberries are not considered to be silicon accumulators. However, work at the University of ... -
Benefits of using silicon as a nutrient in sustainable strawberry production
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Wileman, H J; Asiana, Ifeoma; Jin, Xiaolei (2021-05-05)Silicon is not considered an essential plant element and strawberries are not considered to be silicon accumulators. However, work at the University of Hertfordshire shows that the use of a bioavailable silicon nutrient ... -
Epidemiology and Control of Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) on Strawberry
Jin, Xiaolei (2016-06-28)Strawberry powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, has the potential to cause over 20% yield loss, particularly where strawberries are grown under cover. A holistic approach to the control of strawberry powdery ... -
Factors contributing to sustainable strawberry production : BSPP poster
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Jin, Xiaolei; Davies, Keith (2014-09-02)In the UK strawberry production is very intensive, over the last 20 years yields have doubled and the harvest period greatly extended whilst the area used by the crop has been reduced. This rise in yield per hectare has ... -

Silicon enhances the constitutive defence pathway in strawberries against strawberry powdery mildew and two-spotted spider mites
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Asiana, Ifeoma; Jin, Xiaolei (2019-11-21)Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) is a major fungal disease affecting strawberry production. The work reported here assessed the use of silicon as a nutrient (Sirius) delivered via the fertigation system in ... -
A systems approach to the control of strawberry powdery mildew
Jin, Xiaolei; Hall, Avice; Fitt, Bruce D.L.; Huang, Yongju (2014)A systems approach to the control of strawberry powdery mildew (Podospheara aphanis) is important, as the disease is never absent from the crop. Work reported here shows that the disease is present in the crop whether new ... -
