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.
Research addressing the potential profitability of nematode resistant potato varieties.
Investigating the chemical composition of litchi tomato for potential nematicide formulations.
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.
Information about the life cycle and spread of potato cyst nematodes (Globadera spp.).
A trap crop that reduces the population of potato cyst nematodes in the soil can lessen cyst production on a subsequent potato crop.
