Potato Protection Laboratory

Potato Protection Laboratory

Conducts research in the fields of phytopathology, entomology, herbology, and potato protection. The work addresses the most critical issues related to potato pests, primarily focusing on monitoring the causes and effects of changes in pest populations for effective control in field, greenhouse, storage, and laboratory conditions. The laboratory has many years of experience, appropriate equipment and facilities, and a skilled and efficient scientific and technical staff specialized in conducting research.

Phytopathology

  • Long-term monitoring of changes in populations of pathogens causing fungal and bacterial diseases, related to climate warming and genetic changes, as well as new sources of infection in potato crops in Poland and Europe.
  • Diagnostics of potato plant health problems and yield to minimize losses.
  • Research on the causative agents of diseases and their role in the epidemiology of potato diseases. Studies on species composition of pathogen populations (e.g., fungi of the genus Alternaria), role in infection, characterization of new genotypes of Phytophthora infestans, pathogenicity, and virulence characterization.
  • Characterization of resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases in new potato lines and varieties, conducted under field, storage, and laboratory conditions.
  • Evaluation of the suitability of fertilizers and other similar substances (e.g., soil conditioners, growth regulators) in improving the health of potato plantations and the size and quality of yield.
  • Collection of basic potato pathogens on artificial media to ensure quick access to plant material.

Herbology

  • Comprehensive protection of potatoes against weed infestation. Work focuses on the correct selection of doses and application times of herbicides, as well as the diagnosis of undesirable phenomena associated with their use, such as phytotoxic reactions of specific varieties to herbicide active ingredients.
  • Evaluating the possibility of using growth regulators or other substances to shorten the duration of these symptoms on plants, significantly reducing the risk of yield reduction.
  • Studying the species composition of weeds, which is important in the context of climate warming (species previously unseen in our region or occurring at low intensities).

Plant Protection

  • Dynamics and monitoring of harmful insects from the Elateridae family, Scarabaeidae, and the subfamily Noctuinae in potato crops.
  • Impact of insecticides from various chemical groups and alternative natural (plant-based) compounds on reducing Colorado potato beetle feeding in potato cultivation.
  • Research on the effectiveness of plant protection products (fungicides, insecticides, aphicides, herbicides, seed dressings, growth regulators, and others) intended for potato plantation protection, including for registration procedure purposes (certification).
  • Optimization of plant protection product application (selection of doses and timing) and positioning of plant protection products in protection programs (using their properties depending on the development stage of the crop and pests) in demonstration experiments.
  • Diagnosis of undesirable phenomena such as phytotoxic reactions of specific varieties to active substances.
  • Evaluation of the suitability of fertilizers and other similar substances (e.g., soil conditioners, growth regulators) in improving the health of potato plantations and the size and quality of yield.
  • Application of solutions to minimize the use of plant protection products in integrated protection (use and validation of decision support systems in potato plantation protection).

Ongoing Projects

  • Research for phytopharmaceutical companies for the registration procedure of plant protection products in Poland. Research includes the effectiveness of plant protection products in potato plantation protection, phytotoxic reactions of tested varieties, and impact on yield (size and structure of yield, starch content, dry matter content, and possibly sensory characteristics).
  • International cooperation in potato research (pathogens, pests, and potato protection) within the framework of EAPR (European Association for Potato Research) and scientific networks (Euroblight).
  • Validation of decision support systems in potato protection in agricultural practice (agreements with farmers).

Training

  • Organizing training using the principles of Integrated Plant Protection.
