Kafukufuku wa Miller Achititsa Tsiku Loyang'anira Tizilombo ku Pacific Northwest Potato ku Idaho

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, purezidenti komanso wofufuza wamkulu ku Miller Research, adati tsiku lomaliza lidzakhudzanso pulojekiti yathanzi la nthaka (yomwe ikupitilira kuyambira 2019) yofufuza zotsatira za kusuta fodya, manyowa, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito manyowa obiriwira. Zomwe zapezeka pa Mop Top Virus zikuwonetsa chiyembekezo, ndi kuchepetsa zizindikiro zomwe zawonedwa nthawi yoyambirira yosungira, pomwe kafukufuku pa Black Dot cholinga chake ndi kumvetsetsa komwe tizilombo toyambitsa matenda timayambira ndikuchepetsa momwe zimakhudzira zomera ndi mizu yosungidwa. Pulojekiti yomwe yangomalizidwa kumene pa Bacterial Soft Rot yawonetsa kuti kukonzekera kusungirako—makamaka kuumitsa mbatata zotsukidwa nthawi yomweyo—kwakhala kothandiza kwambiri kuposa kuchepetsa mikwingwirima popewa kuwola. Popeza matenda akupitilizabe kukhala otsika nyengo ino, ndalama zolembetsera $20 zikuphatikizapo zipangizo ndi chakudya chamasana, ndi kubwezeretsanso mankhwala ophera tizilombo ndi ma credits a Certified Crop Adviser omwe alipo kwa omwe akupezekapo.
