Litchi tomato for Control of Potato Nematodes
Investigating the chemical composition of litchi tomato for potential nematicide formulations.
-
Why Industry Participation Matters in Potato Breeding
Potato breeders and the nematologists who support them need guidance from the potato industry about what constitutes a winner.
-
Root Lesion Nematode Impact on Potato
Root lesion nematodes destructively feed on plant cells, causing massive root tissue necrosis, and are linked to the spread of pathogens.
-
Erosion of Potato Resistance to Pale Cyst Nematode
Continuous use of potato varieties with the same source of resistance causes genetic selection for stronger and/or more virulent pale cyst nematode populations.

Field Microplot Setup for Pale Cyst Nematode
How PAPAS sets up field trial microplots in Idaho to research pale cyst nematode, a regulated potato pest.
-
Trap Crops to Control Nematodes
A trap crop that reduces the population of potato cyst nematodes in the soil can lessen cyst production on a subsequent potato crop.
