  • Description :
  • 2. Scotland is renowned worldwide for the quality of the seed potatoes it produces, underpinning the whole UK potato industry and exporting to over 30 countries outside of the EU. This reputation is primarily due to low levels of virus disease present in Scottish seed potatoes enabling production of high health seed by highly specialised growers. The most important potato viruses present in Scotland are spread by aphids moving from infected to healthy plants. Scotland-s cool, maritime climate has historically kept aphid numbers, and therefore virus levels, low but factors including the changing climate and loss of effective insecticides have meant that virus levels have been increasing in recent years.Virus is managed through certification, crop inspections, and the industry. The Seed Potato Certification Scheme (SPCS) sets disease and quality tolerances, including tolerances for virus in seed potato crops, which limits the inoculum in crops and the risk of spread to other crops in the vicinity. Likewise statutory inspections of growing ware crops maintain limits on levels of virus. The industry face financial consequences if their crops do not meet tolerances required for certification and subsequently marketing; these include downgrading/no grading of seed crops, and potential destruction if ware or seed crops are above tolerances permitted. It is therefore of financial and reputational benefit for growers to take efforts to minimise the risk of virus to their crops.However...
