Success in Developing Nematode Resistant Potatoes
Targeted efforts in potato breeding programs can increase nematode resistance over time.
-
Breeding Potatoes for Columbia Root-Knot Nematode Resistance
Research into breeding resistance to Columbia root-knot nematode into commercial potato varieties.

Molecular Markers for Columbia Root-Knot Nematode Races
Developing molecular markers of Columbia root-knot nematode (M. Chitwoodi) aids in faster identification of the potato nematode races.
-
Golden Nematode Impact on Potato
Cysts from golden nematode, a yield-reducing potato pest, can survive in the soil for decades, making eradication difficult.
