Demo mixed infestation

  • You are potato grower and grow potatoes in a 1:4 rotation
  • You had a field sampled with the Combi method in August 2009, result of one of the parts of the field:
     
      Total cysts Living cysts Larvae/100cc
    PCN (Pa) 5 4 500
    M. chitwoodi     25
    P. penetrans     50
  • You grow potatoes in 2010 and 2014.
  • For the next rotation you can choose from the following crops
     
    Crops Green manure crops
    Potatoes, cultivars Santé (RS = 30), Innovator (RS = 1 Fodder radish
    Sugar beet White mustard
    Spring wheat  
    Winter wheat  
    Chicory  
    Tulip  
  • Which crop rotation gives you a good net potato income and gives the best suppression of the M. chitwoodi infestation?

 

  2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Plan A Innovator Sugar beet Chicory Spring wheat + white mustard Santé
Plan B Innovator Chicory Winter wheat + white mustard Sugar beet Santé
Plan C Innovator Chicory Winter wheat Tulips Santé
Plan D Innovator Chicory Winter wheat Tulips + fodder radish Santé
