Controlling Pale Cyst Nematode with Quinoa
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).
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).
The researchers will target two species of potato cyst nematodes — the pale cyst nematode, which is known in the U.S. to exist only in a small area of eastern Idaho, and the golden nematode, found in New York.
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.
PAPAS is developing computational tools with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to support potato nematode detection, mitigation, and management.

Potato breeders and the nematologists who support them need guidance from the potato industry about what constitutes a winner.
Pale cyst nematode (G. pallida) is found 49 countries/regions and golden nematode (G. rostochiensis) is found in 74 countries/regions as of 2022.
