The PAPAS 2024 annual report showcases significant progress made in research for systems approach to potato nematode management.
Learn more about why sampling for nematodes is important for potatoes; consideration for soil sampling (number of samples, depth, time of year); and research about potato nematode presence and sampling.
Learn about our research investigating litchi tomato for new nematode management chemistries.
Found in the western US, Columbia root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne chitwoodi) infects potato roots and tubers, causing blemishes and defects that reduce quality.
See how extracts from litchi tomato (Solanum sisymbriifolium) are made afrom plant material for potato nematode research.
Read our newsletter to learn more about the PAPAS project goals, research team, and industry impact of potato nematodes.
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).
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.
