The PAPAS 2025 Stakeholder Report summarizes major accomplishments across diagnostics, breeding, nematicide discovery, economics, decision tools, and outreach.
PAPAS stands for Potatoes and Pests – Actionable Science Against Nematodes. Launched in 2023, the four-year project is funded by a $6.8 million grant from the USDA’s Specialty Crop Research Initiative and focuses on providing growers with best management practices for controlling nematode infestations.
For decades, potato growers have fought nematodes with fumigation, crop rotation, and strict sanitation measures. While these practices remain essential, other management options need to be considered.
On a recent episode of Potato-cast, a podcast hosted by Natalia Cervantes with Potatoes USA, PAPAS project co-director Inga Zasada shares more about the initiative’s goals and research.
