Introduction into Washington State University (a PAPAS partner) Potato Research Group: research projects, partnerships, and extension outreach.
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.
