What the notice says

Defra Self-service Direct Award. This project seeks to understand how effective insecticide products are against key pests. Priority pest samples (e.g. insects, mites, nematodes) will be analysed for resistance across arable (not only cereals and OSR e.g. seed potatoes, sugar beet), fruit and horticultural crops, where insecticides are still relied on for control.
