description
SCRI is the lead centre in the UK for research on potatoes, barley and soft fruit crops and, in addition, carries out research on a wide range of temperate, sub-tropical and tropical crops, e.g. cassava, groundnut, mahogany and coffee. A broad, yet fully integrated programme of fundamental and strategic research of the highest quality is a special strength of the Institute. The range of skills available, from fundamental studies on genetics and physiology, through agronomy and pathology, to glasshouse and field trials is unique within the UK research service. In particular, SCRI seeks to create and protect wealth in relevant industries, to improve the quality of life, and to protect the environment.
