Cultivation of legumes will increase due to several factors. Among these are extraction of plant-based proteins for human consumption, a demand for increased self-sufficiency of vegetable proteins within the country, reduced costs for fertilisers by N-fixation in the legumes, and use of legumes as cover crops. Largest production is of pea and field bean, and new crops are lupin, vetch, lentils and soybeans. Frequent cultivation of legumes leads to higher risk of yield losses due to soil-borne root pathogens. This project will focus on collecting and identifying root pathogens causing diseases in legumes, assessing pathogenicity in different species and cultivars of legumes and other crops in the rotation. A further step is to evaluate the effect of treating seed or plants with biological products in reducing the infection. For the grower, it is of high importance to minimize the risk of crop losses when cultivating legumes, and to reduce propagation of long-lived pathogens in the soil.
Odlingen av baljväxter kommer att öka i den närmaste framtiden. Det beror på olika faktorer såsom stort intresse av extraktion av växtbaserat protein, en övergång till inhemsk produktion av vegetabiliskt protein för ökad försörjningsförmåga inom landet, N-fixerande grödor som ersättning för dyr mineralgödsel, och baljväxter som mellangröda. De vanligaste odlade grödorna är ärt och åkerböna, men även lupin, vicker, linser och sojaböna ökar. En frekvent odling av baljväxter leder till ökad risk för skördeförluster orsakade av rotsjukdomar. Detta projekt ska lägga fokus på att samla in och identifiera patogener som orsakar sjukdom på baljväxter, identifiera värdväxter och tolerans i sorter och även i andra grödor i växtföljden.
Vidare ska effekten av frö- och plantbehandling med biologiska produkter testas mot dessa sjukdomar. För odlaren är det av högsta vikt att minska risken för skördeförluster i odling av baljväxter och att hindra uppförökning av persistenta rotpatogener i jorden.

According to applicable legislation, manure and digestate must be sanitized in order to prevent disease transmission before they may be merchandised on the open market. Swedish plants currently have the choice between using one of two standard methods (70 °C for 1 h, or 52 °C for 10 h), or carry …

The rollback of insecticides exposes Swedish horticulture to a multitude of pests. Targeted and sustainable innovations are sorely needed. Here we target several pests of fruits, onion, cabbage, beans and salad and aim to develop 1) species-selective lures using a novel olfactomics platform, 2) use …

Fruit tree canker, caused by the fungus Neonectria ditissima, has become a threat for Swedish apple production. No efficient protective measures are available and no complete genetic resistance is known in apple. However, apple genotypes differ in the level of partial resistance which must be fully …

Healthy seeds are a prerequisite for sustainable food systems. The seed-borne plant disease, common bunt (CB) in wheat, caused by the fungi Tilletia tritici and T. laevis, is a major problem in agriculture. Efficient chemical seed treatments exist, but it is often difficult to keep up with autumn …
