Summary

You will get information about current pesticide use on seed potato farms in the Netherlands, read about interventions for reducing synthetic fungicide reliance in potato growing from an expert viewpoint and learn about three proposed interventions:

  1. Robust potato varieties,
  2. Wider crop rotations,
  3. Organic conversion.
    The factsheet is aimed at farmers in transition to organic agriculture.
EPrint Type: Practice tool
Teaser: Farm-level impacts of different pesticide reduction strategies.
What problem does the tool address?: Some of the SPRINT Projects case study sites were selected for a deep analysis into the farm-level economic impacts of various approaches for reducing reliance on synthetic pesticides.
