Miller Research Tuav Pacific Northwest Potato Pest Management Field Day hauv Idaho
Tus yuam sij takeaways
- Field day on 20 August at Rupert, Idaho
- Four consortium-funded projects presented
- Alternatives to Metam for Verticillium control
- Mop Top, Powdery Scab and Black Dot covered
- Soil health trial running since 2019
Vim li cas nws tseem ceeb
- Rau cov neeg ua liaj ua teb
- Immediate drying after washing is the actionable finding: cheaper and more effective than chasing bruise reduction.
- Rau cov processors
- Black Dot is named as a rising storage problem; pathogen origin work is still under way.

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, tus thawj tswj hwm thiab tus kws tshawb nrhiav tseem ceeb ntawm Miller Research, tau hais tias hnub ua teb no kuj tseem yuav tham txog ib qho project ntev ntev rau kev noj qab haus huv ntawm av (txij li xyoo 2019) uas tshuaj xyuas cov teebmeem ntawm kev siv tshuaj tua kab mob, compost, thiab kev siv chiv ntsuab. Cov kev tshawb pom thawj zaug ntawm Mop Top Virus qhia tau tias muaj kev cia siab, nrog rau kev txo cov tsos mob thaum lub sijhawm khaws cia thaum ntxov, thaum kev tshawb fawb ntawm Black Dot lub hom phiaj yog nkag siab txog keeb kwm ntawm cov kab mob thiab txo nws cov teebmeem rau ob qho tib si cov nroj tsuag thiab cov tubers khaws cia. Ib qhov project tsis ntev los no ntawm Bacterial Soft Rot tau qhia tias kev npaj cia - tshwj xeeb tshaj yog kev ziab tam sim ntawd ntawm cov qos yaj ywm ntxuav - tau ua pov thawj zoo dua li kev txo qhov mob hauv kev tiv thaiv kev lwj. Nrog rau qhov kev nyuaj siab ntawm kab mob tseem qis heev rau lub caij no, tus nqi sau npe $ 20 suav nrog cov khoom siv thiab pluas su, nrog rau kev rov ua dua daim ntawv pov thawj tshuaj tua kab thiab cov qhab nia Certified Crop Adviser muaj rau cov neeg tuaj koom.
Kev Qhia Txog Qos Yaj Ywm Thoob Ntiaj Teb
Tsib zaj dab neeg zoo tshaj plaws, cov nqi, cov lus ceeb toom txog kab mob thiab cov xwm txheej. Sawv ntxov hnub ua haujlwm, tsis muaj kev tshaj tawm.
