- Alternatives to Metam for Verticillium control
- Mop Top, Powdery Scab and Black Dot covered
- Soil health trial running since 2019
Mengapa ia penting?
- Untuk petani
- Immediate drying after washing is the actionable finding: cheaper and more effective than chasing bruise reduction.

Miller Research, with the Pacific Northwest Potato Research Consortium, hosts a potato pest management field day on 20 August from 8am to noon at its Rupert, Idaho facility, supported by the industry-funded potato commissions of Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Presentations focus on chemical disease management and four consortium-funded projects: alternatives to Metam soil fumigants for Verticillium control, fungicide programme performance against foliar disease, and management of Potato Mop Top Virus, Powdery Scab and Black Dot, the last an increasing concern in storage. Jeff Miller, president and principal investigator, said the day also covers a long-term soil health project running since 2019 on fumigation, compost and green manure. Early Mop Top findings show symptom reduction in early storage. A concluded Bacterial Soft Rot project found that storage preparation — immediate drying of washed potatoes — was more effective than bruise reduction.
Miller Research, in partnership with the Pacific Northwest Potato Research Consortium, will host a potato pest management field day on August 20 from 8 a.m. to noon at its Rupert, Idaho facility. The event, supported by industry-funded potato commissions from Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, will feature presentations focused on chemical disease management and highlight four consortium-funded research projects. Attendees will gain insights into critical topics including alternatives to Metam soil fumigants for Verticillium control, fungicide program performance for foliar diseases, and management strategies for emerging threats such as Potato Mop Top Virus, Powdery Scab, and Black Dot—a fungal disease of increasing concern in storage.
Jeff Miller, presiden dan penyiasat utama di Miller Research, menyatakan bahawa hari lapangan itu juga akan merangkumi projek kesihatan tanah jangka panjang (berterusan sejak 2019) yang mengkaji kesan pengasapan, kompos dan aplikasi baja hijau. Penemuan awal mengenai Virus Mop Top menunjukkan potensi, dengan pengurangan gejala diperhatikan semasa tempoh penyimpanan awal, sementara penyelidikan mengenai Black Dot bertujuan untuk memahami asal usul patogen dan meminimumkan kesannya pada tanaman dan ubi yang disimpan. Satu projek baru-baru ini yang selesai mengenai Reput Lembut Bakteria mendedahkan bahawa penyediaan penyimpanan—terutamanya pengeringan segera kentang yang telah dibasuh—terbukti lebih berkesan daripada pengurangan lebam dalam mencegah reput. Dengan tekanan penyakit yang masih agak rendah pada musim ini, yuran pendaftaran $20 termasuk bahan dan makan tengah hari, dengan pensijilan semula racun perosak dan kredit Penasihat Tanaman Bertauliah tersedia untuk peserta.
