Résumé
The work plan includes the following activities: - Phenological monitoring and symptomatology of early blight disease during the potato growing cycle. - Aerobiological control of the presence of initial Alternaria inoculum in the atmosphere of the culture field. - Evaluation of different risk prediction models of early blight and its subsequent validation for the climatic conditions of A Limia. - Adjustment of the prediction models for Alternaria with the objective of minimizing the use of phytosanitary products for a more sustainable agriculture. - Application of multivariate techniques for the treatment of meteorological, phenological and aerobiological data. -Evaluation of tuber quality during storage and optimization of conservation methods. The study will be conducted in A Limia, a pioneer region in Galicia in the marketing and distribution of potatoes. Year 2018 The work will begin with the selection of plots for field monitoring of the potato pathogen and storage sheds. The work plan includes: Registration of the weather conditions of the crop. Record of the progression of the phenological cycle of potato plants. Aerobiological study of the cultivation environment in the selected plot. Tracking of tubers under storage conditions in the warehouse. Formative tasks Training in aspects related to the morphology and phenology of the varieties. NIR training. Year 2019 Registration of the weather conditions of the crop. Record of the progression of the phenological cycle of potato plants. Aerobiological study of the cultivation environment in the selected plot. Tracking of tubers under storage conditions in the warehouse. Computerization of the data obtained in the previous crop cycle and its treatment. Selection of forecast and test models. Results report. Formative tasks Introductory course in multivariate statistical analysis. Course on Geographic Information Systems. Participation in educational teaching activities. Year 2020 The activities of the previous year will be carried out during the corresponding crop cycle. In addition, scientific documents of the results obtained will be written. Formative tasks Training in aspects related to the writing of scientific documents. Participation in educational teaching activities. Year 2021 Follow-up in the field, just like previous years. Store tracking will not continue. In addition, the final report of the Doctoral Thesis will be written.
