  1. Before infection:16 July After infection: 19 August LATE BLIGHT

  2. Foliage blight Tuber blight

  3. BLIGHT-MOP • Pan-European project on late BLIGHT: Development of a systems approach for the Management of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) in EU Organic Potato production in the absence of copper fungicides

  4. Cu fungicides in the EU • Cu use expected to be banned end of March 2002 in in EU organic production systems • Regulation amended because ‘these substances are, at this point in time, indispensable to the cultivation of various crops and that only by increased research efforts will it be possible to find medium or long-term appropriate alternative solutions’ • Until 31 December 2005, 8kg copper/ha/year permitted and from 1 January 2006, 6kg/ha/year, but could be further reduced

  5. BLIGHT-MOP • 7 countries • United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland (CH), France (F), Denmark (DK), Germany (D), Norway (N), Netherlands (NL)

  6. BLIGHT-MOP Partners • UK – Nafferton Ecological Farming Group-Newcastle University (UNEW); Elm Farm Research Centre (EFRC); Stockbridge Technology Centre (STC) • CH – Swiss Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL); Swiss Federal Research Station of Agroecology and Agriculture (FAL) • F – UMR INRA/ENSAR BiO3P (INRA); Groupe de Recherce en Agriculture Biologique (GRAB) • D – Department of Ecological Plant Protection, University of Kassel(KU); Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture & Forestry (BBA) • DK – Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences (DIAS) • N – Norwegian Centre for Ecological Agriculture (NCEA) • NL – Lois Bolk Institute (LBI), Plant Research International (Plant-Ri), Agricultural Economics Research Institute (LEI)

  7. BLIGHT-MOP • Workpackages • State of the ‘art’ • Resistant varieties • Diversification strategies • Agronomic strategies • Alternative treatments • Integrated systems approach
