Introduction into Washington State University’s Potato Research Group: research projects, partnerships, and extension outreach.
Planting quinoa could provide a profitable rotation crop for potato farmers in eastern Idaho who are dealing with an infestation of pale cyst nematode (PCN).
PAPAS and the Cornell Potato Breeding Program work towards developing cultivars that are compatible with growers’ production systems and resistant to nematodes.
PAPAS and the Cornell Potato Breeding Program plant multiple elite breeding clones to evaluate nematode resistance.
Research to help determine the impact of pale cyst nematode population densities on different potato varieties.
Sampling depth is an important factor in the likelihood of detecting nematodes through soil sampling. However, while the horizontal movement of nematodes in soil has been widely studied, research on their vertical movement is lacking.
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.
Researchers at the University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences are working to develop potatoes resistant to the pale cyst nematode.
A team of scientists and researchers named Potatoes & Pests – Actionable Science Against Nematodes (PAPAS) announced today their plans to address industry-wide challenges in managing potato nematodes.
