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.
The PAPAS 2024 annual report showcases significant progress made in research for systems approach to potato nematode management.
Expanding its international collaboration in potato nematode research and management, the PAPAS team joins PCN Action Scotland and NEM-EMERGE to host a Potato Nematode Stakeholder Workshop at the European Society of Nematologists 36th Symposium in Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands on June 2, 2026.
Researching the potential for breeding PCN-resistant russet varieties, an important step toward developing more PCN-resistant potato varieties for a stronger potato industry.
For most nematode species causing the greatest economic damage to U.S. potato growers, commercially viable resistant varieties simply do not exist. See how the PAPAS project is working to ensure U.S. potato growers have resistant variety options for the full range of economically important nematode species across market classes.
A new study from the PAPAS project and the University of Idaho PCN research team published in Plant Disease sheds new light on the risk posed by the introduction of non-native populations into U.S. production regions.
