Idaho High School Grows Litchi Tomato for Potato Nematode Research
The litchi tomato plants have been harvested, sectioned, and stored for further research by PAPAS.
The litchi tomato plants have been harvested, sectioned, and stored for further research by PAPAS.
For the first time since its discovery in 2006, the pale cyst nematode (Globodera pallida; PCN) has been successfully eradicated from a field in Idaho—thanks in part to the PAPAS team.
Researching the potential for breeding PCN-resistant russet varieties, an important step toward developing more PCN-resistant potato varieties for a stronger potato industry.
Providing potato growers with precise, data-driven strategies to effectively and sustainably combat plant-parasitic nematodes.
