Washington State University Potato Research Overview (Video)
Introduction into Washington State University (a PAPAS partner) Potato Research Group: research projects, partnerships, and extension outreach.
Developing a potato cultivar that is resistant to both Potato Virus Y (PVY) and potato cyst nematodes.
PAPAS and the Cornell Potato Breeding Program work towards developing cultivars that are compatible with growers’ production systems and resistant to nematodes.
Nematologists and plant pathologists gather to learn what’s new in potato nematode diagnostics.
Thousands of different clones are grown and evaluated each year through potato breeding programs.
Similar to farmers picking out rocks from their fields over decades and still finding more, many potato fields have an endless supply of rocks.
The litchi tomato plants have been harvested, sectioned, and stored for further research by PAPAS.
