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 ... -
Controlling strawberry powdery mildew with reduced number of fungicide sprays
Hall, Avice; Wileman, H J; Dodgson, Jolyon; Liu, Bo (2021-05-01)Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) is the most feared disease of strawberry under protection, environmental conditions under polythene are ideal for the growth of the fungi, with temperature and relative ... -
Factors contributing to sustainable strawberry production
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Davies, Keith (Association of Applied Biologists, 2014-11) -
Factors contributing to sustainable strawberry production : AAB poster
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Davies, Keith (2014-11-26)In the UK strawberry production is very intensive , over the last 20 years yield has doubled and the harvest period greatly extended whilst the area used by the crop has been reduced . This rise in yield per hectare has ... -
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 ... -
Final Report of Ceres Funding Project 1C1P1
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Wileman, H J (University of Hertfordshire, 2021-07-23)In 2019 the final on-farm validation of the UH prediction system (funded by Ceres, in collaboration with Agri-tech Services) took place on eight participating sites (from six farms) in England and Scotland. The aim of the ... -
Practical experience of using a prediction system to control strawberry powdery mildew

Practical experience of using a prediction system to control strawberry powdery mildew
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice (2013-11-07)Strawberry powdery mildew, caused by Podospheara aphanis, is a major threat to strawberry production in the UK. Infection by P. aphanis causes a progression of symptoms on strawberry plants thus leading to great yield loss. ... -
The role of silicon as a nutrient/biostimulant in strawberries
Liu, Bo; Asiana, Carmilla; Wileman, H J; Jin, X.; Hall, Avice (2022-09-23)• All plants grown in soil contain silicon (Si) in their tissues, with concentrations that vary from 0.1% to 10% of their dry weight. • Si is referred to as “quasi-essential” for the growth of higher plants due to its ... -
The role of silicon nutrient in reducing the levels of strawberry powdery mildew and two-spotted spider mite
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Davies, Keith (2015-09-15) -
Silicon builds resilience in strawberry plants against both strawberry powdery mildew Podosphaera aphanis and two-spotted spider mites Tetranychus urticae
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Davies, Keith (2020-12-08)Silicon is found in all plants and the accumulation of silicon can improve plant tolerance to biotic stress. Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) and two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) are both ... -
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 ... -
Sustainable Strawberry Production and Management Including Control of Strawberry Powdery Mildew
Liu, Bo (2017-07-24)At present, the global population is increasing, while soil and fresh water resources for crop production are declining. It is important to adopt sustainable practices to optimise the use of limited natural resources ... -
Sustainable strawberry production including the use of a rule based prediction system for controlling Strawberry Powdery Mildew
Liu, Bo; Hall, Avice; Davies, Keith (2013-12-18)UK strawberry production could be viewed as an example of sustainable intensification through the precision use of varieties, nutrients and polythene tunnels. Powdery mildew, Podosphaera aphanis, is a major fungal disease ... -
Use of a real-time decision support system to give accurate timings for fungicide applications
Wileman, H J; Hall, Avice; Liu, Bo (2019-09-02)Environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity (RH) affect strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) development and disease severity. To control P. aphanis growers apply fungicides every 7-14 ... -
What is the origin of the initial inoculum for strawberry powdery mildew epidemics?
