Washington State University Potato Research Overview (Video)
Introduction into Washington State University (a PAPAS partner) Potato Research Group: research projects, partnerships, and extension outreach.
Potato growers rely on solid economic data when making nematode management decisions. Our team researches the financial impact of nematode management methods through predictive modeling and profitability estimates that reflect the majority of U.S. potato production systems.
Sampling depth is an important factor in the likelihood of detecting nematodes through soil sampling. However, while the horizontal movement of nematodes in soil has been widely studied, research on their vertical movement is lacking.
The PAPAS 2025 Stakeholder Report summarizes major accomplishments across diagnostics, breeding, nematicide discovery, economics, decision tools, and outreach.
Three PAPAS researchers recently traveled to South Africa to meet with nematologists from around the world.
Watch our free webinar to see the latest discoveries in potato nematode control, detection, and resistant variety development.
The PAPAS team will once again be presenting about nematode management at the annual Washington and Oregon Potato Conference, January 27-29, 2026, at the Three Rivers Convention Center, Tri-Cities, Washington.
