(Webinar)The Future of Potato Nematode Management: A Systems Approach
Potato farmers need more sustainable, accessible options to manage potato nematodes, and PAPAS researchers across the country are working together to make that future a reality.
Watch our free webinar —The Future of Potato Nematode Management: A Systems Approach—to see how we’re building an integrated, science-driven strategy for tackling plant-parasitic nematodes in potato production.
What You’ll Learn:
- The current impact of potato nematodes on farms and markets
- How data is used to predict economic outcomes of control strategies
- New diagnostic tools for faster, more accurate detection
- Breeding breakthroughs in nematode-resistant potato varieties
- Exploration of natural biochemicals with nematicidal potential
- Outreach efforts to ensure farmers can access and use these tools effectively
Presented by PAPAS
Potatoes & Pests – Actionable Science Against Nematodes is a collaborative team of nematologists, plant scientists, and ag economists focused on developing new solutions for managing potato nematodes.
Speakers include:
- John Lundeen – Director of Research and Analysis, Potatoes USA
- Louise-Marie Dandurand, Ph.D. – Plant Pathologist & Nematologist, University of Idaho
- Philip Watson – Agricultural Economist, University of Idaho
- Inga Zasada, Ph.D. – Research Plant Pathologist/Nematologist, USDA ARS
- Joseph Kuhl, Ph.D. – Plant Geneticist, University of Idaho
- Cynthia Gleason, Ph.D. – Plant Pathologist, Washington State University
Whether you’re a grower, agronomist, researcher, or industry leader, this webinar will offer practical insights from PAPAS—and a look at what’s ahead for sustainable nematode management.
