The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to NIAB for the UK Cereal Pathogen Virulence Survey (UKCPVS), which was established in 1967 to detect new pathogen races at an early stage and prevent widespread epidemics.

The work, funded by AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), involves continuing and developing research from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2018, with a possible extension to 31 March 2019.

The contract, valued at AUD 398,986, includes isolate collection starting April 2016 and establishing field plots for autumn-sown crops in September 2016, with parallel work alongside the existing contractor requiring good communication.
