Once every two years the whole of the potato industry comes together for this unique 'seed to shopping trolley' event. It's an exceptional networking and business opportunity for those who grow, handle, process and retail the crop in this multi billion industry.
Join us on stand 30 at Fruit Focus 2019,
East Malling Research Centre, Kent
Attracting an increasing number of visitors year on year, Fruit Focus brings together more than 1,200 growers and industry professionals. Over 115 leading suppliers exhibit at Fruit Focus. It showcases all aspects of agronomy, machinery and equipment, business information, pre and post-harvest technology, and marketing. Fruit Focus provides a unique opportunity to update on the latest technologies and industry developments, exchange views and network with fellow producers. As well as soft and orchard fruit, vines also feature at Fruit Focus.
Fera's Plant Clinic experts will be on hand at this year’s event to discuss our range of crop health services including, the newly launched Vine Spore Monitoring Service, Crop Testing, Nematology Testing and the Big Soil Community.
Vines are vulnerable to infection from fungal plant pathogens such as botrytis and mildew throughout an extensive growing season. If not controlled correctly they can be highly destructive and a persistent problem year upon year. Help protect your vines from these highly destructive pathogens using Fera’s Vine Spore Monitoring Service, which can;
Notify you when spores have been airborne in your vineyard
Support a more targeted approach to the timing and selection of fungicide applications
Reduce costs and promote sustainable wine production
Maximise product efficacy and reduce resistance build up
Increase grape yield and quality
Plus, at this year's event Guy Thallon, Strategic Business Development Manager at Fera Science, will be discussing the Big Soil Community project and our insights into the state of UK soil, and what that means for you and the future of your crop health. Don't miss it and join him in the NFU Fruit Forum theatre at 15:30.
Our leading expertise and outstanding facilities can help you understand and identify your agricultural challenges; helping you to deliver more economically and environmentally resilient farming solutions for the sustainable intensification of arable systems.
Fera's team of nematode experts provide a unique free-living nematode identification service, and offers nematode detection and consultancy advice for all sectors of agriculture and horticulture potentially reducing yield loss.
The complexity of soil biology is too great for individual farms and organisations to address. A collaborative effort is required to drive a coordinated approach to understanding the role of our soils microbial communities.

Your Vision, Our Expertise
Come and see us on stand 43 at IUPAC 2019
International Convention Centre, Ghent, Belgium
Partner with an industry leader for your Chemical Regulatory needs
For more than 60 years, crop health experts have been sharing their expertise and discussing emerging issues of global significance in agriculture at the IUPAC conferences. For the first time ever, the 14th International IUPAC Conference of Crop Protection will be a conjoined event with the European Crop Protection Association (ECPA) and the International Symposium of Crop Protection (ISCP). The overall conference theme will be 'Crop Protection: Education of the Future Generation', view the event programme here.
Join Fera Science on stand 43 where we will be discussing our wide range of chemical regulatory services available including, Terrestrial Ecotoxicology, Bee Ecotoxicology, Aquatic Ecotoxicology and Regulatory Risk Assessments. So, if you are planning to attend this event, we hope that you will come along to stand 43 and meet the Fera team.
Andrew McEwen, Strategic Business Development at Fera Science, will be presenting his poster on Monday 20th May, poster topic 8, titled 'Use of MALDI imaging to assess the distribution of pesticides in the honeybee'. Don't miss it - register for your place at IUPAC 2019 today.
Fera offers a full package of studies to GLP on aquatic non-target organisms, on microorganisms and ready biodegradability tests.
" title="Related Fera Product 3" alt="Terrestrial Ecotoxicology">
Fera offers a wide range of standardised Phase I laboratory studies, aged residue tests as well as more complex higher tier studies.
Environmental fate studies are key to providing the data required by chemical companies to complete thorough environmental risk assessments (ERA).
We have the expertise, personnel and equipment to provide clients with assistance in analytical method development in support of environmental toxicology studies, biotechnology, manufacturing support, compliant sample analysis, formulated product analysis, polymer analysis, analytical method validation to GLP requirements and surfactant analysis.
Fera has the research expertise and scientific resources to help you test products for their effects on pollinator survival, development and behaviour, enabling you to develop products that are safe for bees and other pollinators.
Regulations today allow scientifically valid QSAR models to be used to derive information on the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. That means they can be used to estimate the data required to comply with regulatory schemes for a range of applications, such as agrochemicals, cosmetics, human and animal medicines, food additives and industrial chemicals.

There has been an increase in the number of samples of soft fruits submitted to the Fera Plant Clinic, for analysis of plant pests and diseases.
Soil health has become widely recognised as an underpinning characteristic of sustainable agriculture. However, the biological component of soil remains poorly understood in an applied context and the complexity makes it too big of a challenge for one organisation or farm to address.
Act now to mitigate risks to your oilseed rape. Each year up to 76% of the oilseed rape crop is affected by cabbage stem flea beetle damage (CSFB). Growers also need to be monitoring crops for Turnip yellows virus (TuYV) as there is some evidence of populations emerging and therefore now a major threat to WOSR yields.
The theme of the 18th International Fresenius ECOTOX Conference is "Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecotoxicology and Risk Management"
On Friday 30th November, Dr Rachel Benstead, Senior Aquatic Ecotoxicologist at Fera Science, will be presenting her abstract on the E-Flows mesocosm. Rachel will be focusing on:
The configuration and capabilities of the E-Flows Mesocosm
Validating the flow parameters in a large-scale flow-through mesocosm
Mixing, consistency and control of exposure profiles
Exposure endpoints – what do regulators need?
E-Flows is The Edge-of-Field Waterbody Safety Assessment Facility - The First Fully Flow-through Field Scale Mesocosm
CHAPs Edge-of-field Waterbody Safety Assessment Facility (E-Flows), supported by Innovate UK and developed, designed, managed & operated by Fera is to be a state of the art mesocosm providing a realistic test bed for higher tier regulatory risk assessment. The E-Flows mesocosm will be the first fully flow-through mesocosm exposure facility in Europe giving access to multiple fully flow-through streams at a field scale, which can safely receive compounds at the rates predicted to occur in the environment by models. The mesocosm will have the capability to perform controlled pulse doses for accurate realistic-to-worst-case exposures. It will have sufficient replication to reduce variation and produce reportable data against minimum detectable differences for statistical robustness and will be continuously supplied with high grade ground water, set in a high diversity wetland to ensure sufficient diversity and allow eco-recovery.
