Abstract

Potato cyst nematodes (PCN) are in the Northern Netherlands and the Weser-Ems Region in Germany a major issue for farmers. The yearly average damage by PCN is about 100 Euros/hectare for farmers. Infestations of potato cyst nematodes can be controlled in a sustainable way by proper potato variety selection. Potato varieties vary in the degree of tolerance and resistance to PCN. However, this knowledge is used by only a small fraction of the farmers. The AGROBIOKON project, which is funded by the INTERREG EDR-region, the Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen and the Dutch farmers association, have developed a decision support system for potato variety selection based upon population dynamic models for PCN: OPTIRas. The scientific principles and the model behind the decision support system will be presented. The model will be applied to PCN field experiments in the Weser-Ems region. Experience of using this decision support system in farmer study groups in the Netherlands and Germany will be shared.
