Modelling the variability of UK sugar beet yields under climate change and husbandry adaptations
Richter, G.M.; Qi, Aiming; Semenov, M.A.; Jaggard, K. W. (2006-03)In the future, UK summers are likely to be warmer and drier. Modelling differential water redistribution and uptake, we assessed the impact of future drier climates on sugar beet yields. Weather was generated for 1961-1990 ... -
Modification of gibberellin signalling (metabolism & signal transduction) in sugar beet: analysis of potential targets for crop improvement
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Qi, Aiming; Thomas, Stephen; Mathews, Ann; Phillips, Andrew; Hedden, Peter (2009-04)Sugar beet, Beta vulgaris spp. vulgaris is a biennial long day plant with an obligate requirement for vernalization (prolonged exposure to low temperature). As a spring crop in temperate European climates, it is vulnerable ... -
A novel approach to the use of genetically modified herbicide tolerant crops for environmental benefit
Dewar, A. M.; May, M. J.; Woiwod, I. P.; Haylock, L.; Champion, G. T.; Garner, B. H.; Qi, Aiming; Pidgeon, J.D. (2003-02)The proposed introduction of genetically modified herbicide tolerant (GMHT) crops, with claims of improved weed control, has prompted fears about possible environmental impacts of their widespread adoption, particularly ... -

Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s “net-zero” target
Ni, Yuanzhi; Richter, Goetz; Mwabonje, Onesmus N.; Qi, Aiming; Patel, Martin K.; Woods, Jeremy (2020-12-28)We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent 'net-zero' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A 'cradle to grave' life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate ... -
Novel weed management options in GM herbicide tolerant sugar beet
May, M. J.; Champion, G.T.; Qi, Aiming (2003) -
Novel weed management options in GM herbicide tolerant sugar beet production

Opportunities for weed manipulation using GMHT row crops
May, M. J.; Champion, G. T.; Qi, Aiming; Dewar, A. M. (2003)The herbicides and cultivation systems available in most non-GM crops allow farmers little flexibility as to when they control weeds. However, glyphosate and glufosinate-ammonium, as used in GM herbicide tolerant crops, ... -
Optimum seed rates and plant populations of English sugar beet cultivation
Jaggard, K. W.; Milford, G. F. J.; Qi, Aiming; Clark, C. J. A.; Ober, E. S.; Walters, C.; Burks, E. (2010) -
Partitioning climatic drought into effects of water stress and hot temperarture in the UK

Penicillium pinophilum has the potential to reduce damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia solani in sugar beet
Haque, Ehsanul; K. Lakshman, Dilip; Qi, Aiming; F. R. Khan, Mohamed (2021-02-26)Rhizoctonia solani is an economically important pathogen of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) causing seedling damping-off, and root and crown rot. Cultural practices, partially resistant cultivars, and fungicides are among ... -
Possible changes to arable crop yields by 2050
Jaggard, Keith W.; Qi, Aiming; Ober, Eric S. (2010-09-27)By 2050, the world population is likely to be 9.1 billion, the CO2 concentration 550 ppm, the ozone concentration 60 ppb and the climate warmer by ca 2 degrees C. In these conditions, what contribution can increased crop ... -
Predicting timing of release of ascospores of Leptosphaeria spp. to improve control of phoma stem canker on oilseed rape in the UK
Qi, Aiming; Huang, Yongju; Malcolm-Brown, Martin; Mohamed Sidique, Siti; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2014-06)Phoma stem canker is an economically damaging disease of oilseed rape crops, causing an annual loss estimated at more than £87M in the UK at a price of £390/t. It is caused by two related pathogens: Leptosphaeria maculans ... -
