Nematicide Stewardship Programme
Nematode control is integral to the production of high quality, nutritious potatoes and granular nematicides are a vital tool in an integrated strategy to control this pest.
The NSP’s role is to ensure a best practice approach across all aspects of their use, from delivery on farm through to operator handling, machinery set up and maintenance, to application and storage.
The NSP is a cross industry group, bringing together Corteva Agri-science and Syngenta, with support from the AIC, FPSA, NFU, PPA, AHDB Potatoes and Richard Austin Agriculture, as well as many independent food groups.
What can I do to help?
The NSP, in conjunction with the NIAB training platform ARTIS, has funded a suite of online training courses with BASIS and NRoSO points available on completion.
This course is for anyone who applies granular nematicides and helps to:
- Comply with Red Tractor assurance schemes
- Protect yield through better pest control
- Safeguard product availability
The NSP has also been working with the training group to help deliver physical training courses. Click here to register your interest.
