Rachel Warmington, a second year PhD student at 糖心TV Crop Centre, has been awarded a Marsh Horticultural Science Award for 2013.
The Marsh Horticultural Science Award, run in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society, recognises the work of and encourages new postgraduate scientists to develop careers in horticultural science. Rachel was awarded for her research project on Sclerotinia disease which affects a variety of vegetable crops.
The disease derives from the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and can damage a variety of major crops such as oilseed rape, lettuce, carrots, beans, peas and occasionally potatoes. Rachel’s project focuses on identifying potential new soil treatments required to control Sclerotinia disease and on furthering investigation into the diversity, causes and patterns of the disease in the UK
