Prìomh 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
Carson a tha e cudromach
- Do thuathanaich
- Immediate drying after washing is the actionable finding: cheaper and more effective than chasing bruise reduction.
- Airson luchd-giullachd
- 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.
Thuirt Jeff Miller, ceann-suidhe agus prìomh neach-rannsachaidh aig Miller Research, gun còmhdaich an latha-achaidh cuideachd pròiseact slàinte na h-ùire fad-ùine (a tha a’ dol air adhart bho 2019) a’ sgrùdadh buaidh cur an sàs smùideadh, compost, agus todhar uaine. Tha co-dhùnaidhean tòiseachaidh air Mop Top Virus a’ sealltainn gealladh, le lùghdachadh chomharran air fhaicinn rè amannan stòraidh tràth, agus tha rannsachadh air Black Dot ag amas air tùs pathogens a thuigsinn agus a’ bhuaidh a th’ aige air lusan agus tiùban stòraichte a lughdachadh. Nochd pròiseact a chaidh a chrìochnachadh o chionn ghoirid air Bacterial Soft Grow gu robh ullachadh stòraidh - gu sònraichte tiormachadh sa bhad buntàta air an nighe - nas èifeachdaiche na lùghdachadh bruis ann a bhith a’ cur casg air grodadh. Le cuideam galair fhathast an ìre mhath ìosal an t-seusan seo, tha a’ chìs clàraidh $20 a’ toirt a-steach stuthan agus lòn, le ath-dhearbhadh puinnseanan-bhiastagan agus creideasan Comhairliche Bàrr Teisteanasach rim faighinn do luchd-frithealaidh.
