Washington State University Potato Research Overview (Video)
Introduction into Washington State University (a PAPAS partner) Potato Research Group: research projects, partnerships, and extension outreach.
PAPAS and the Cornell Potato Breeding Program work towards developing cultivars that are compatible with growers’ production systems and resistant to nematodes.
Researchers see promising results studying the efficacy of Solanum sisymbriifolium (litichi tomato or sticky nightshade) as a non-host trap crop to help eliminate pale cyst nematode in eastern Idaho.
The litchi tomato plants have been harvested, sectioned, and stored for further research by PAPAS.
