ImpACT of nematodes in Carrots
ImpACT aims to tackle an increasing challenge in carrot production namely plant parasitic nematode (PPNs) that are emerging as problematic in todayʼs intensive cropping practices. Norwegian carrot production has doubled in the last 20 years and impressively covers 94% of the market.

ImpACT of nematodes in Carrots
Norwegian carrot production has doubled in the last 20 years and impressively covers over 90% of the market.However, this intensive carrot production has caused a build up of pests, such as plant parasitic nematodes. Plant parasitic nematodes are generally neglected pests due to unspecific crop symptoms so that damage is often noticed too late. We are already aware of serious crop losses in Norway due to root knot nematodes, often over 50% on heavily infested fields. Nematodes are difficult to manage due to their wide host range, no available nematicides and little knowledge on management options in the country. This project therefore aims to tackle the problem by first mapping the extent of nematode occurrence and damage in carrots. Then by testing various soil amendments that have known effect on nematodes, such as biochar and chitin rich products.Furthermore, to understand interactions between nematodes in the soil and their host plant(s), studies in the rhizosphere will be conducted to elucidate the mode of infection to plant roots, and plants responce to infection.Such basic studies will generate new knowledge and contribute to novel control strategies long-term.

Green crop protection: Cruciferous plants as a green alternative to chemical pesticides in cereals
Cereal plants infested with plant pathogenic fungi or nematodes may have reduced grain quality and yield. These diseases can partly be controlled by using chemical pesticides. The purpose of this project is to identify "green" methods to mitigate plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes in cereals, as an alternative to chemical pesticides.

Grønt plantevern: Korsblomstra vekster som et grønt alternativ til kjemiske plantevernmidler i korn
Angrep av plantepatogene sopp og nematoder kan redusere avling og kvalitet av norskdyrket korn. Målet med prosjektet er å komme frem til et grønt alternativ til kjemiske plantevernmidler for å bekjempe skadegjørere i norsk korn. Vi forventer å identifisere korsblomstra vekster som har potensiale til å redusere overlevelse av plantepatogene sopper og nematoder i jord/planterester dersom de brukes som fangvekst/ettervekst i norskdyrket korn.

Cropdrive
Cropdrive aims to identify a selection of cover crops suitable for use in root vegetable and potato production with beneficial impacts on both soil and plant health, and greenhouse gas exchange.
