National Capabilities
These have national and international importance for the research underpinning sustainable agriculture. We will be promoting our investment in them to foster our collaborative links with other researchers and we will share our data to ensure that others can benefit from the public support for these resources.

The Rothamsted Insect Survey operates two national networks for monitoring insect populations in the UK. It is accessed by large numbers of external partners and its data used in many publications. The data from both networks have a range of applications in fundamental and applied aspects of insect population dynamics and ecology.

The North Wyke Farm Platform is globally unique in that it can provide the research community access to a range of in situ state-of-the-art instrumentation in hydrologically isolated fields and farms to better address key issues in sustainable agriculture. The Platform's three independent 25 hectare farms allow scientific hypotheses and technologies to be tested on a whole working farm level to ensure they are applicable for farmers. |

PHI-base is a database of interactions between pathogens and their hosts maintained at Rothamsted Research with input from the international community. It is an invaluable resource in the discovery of genes in medically and agronomically important pathogens, which may be potential targets for intervention strategies in the prevention and treatment of diseases. It is a unique resource that currently contains 1335 interactions associated with 1065 genes from 102 pathogenic species, as of November 2011.

The Long-Term Classical Experiments, which have been running since the mid 19th Century, provide a unique experimental system and archive of soil and plant samples, permanently managed through the electronic Rothamsted Archive (e-RA) database. Unsurprisingly, many papers published in high impact factor journals use the Long-Term Experiments as a resource.
