Miller Research organisearret fjilddei foar it bestriden fan ierappelpest yn 'e Stille Oseaan yn Idaho.
Key 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
Wêrom it der ta docht
- Foar boeren
- Immediate drying after washing is the actionable finding: cheaper and more effective than chasing bruise reduction.
- Foar ferwurkers
- 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, presidint en haadûndersiker by Miller Research, merkte op dat de fjilddei ek in langduorjend boaiemsûnensprojekt sil behannelje (oan 'e gong sûnt 2019) dat de effekten fan fumigaasje, kompost en griene dong tapassingen ûndersiket. Foarriedige befiningen oer it Mop Top Virus binne beloftefol, mei symptoomreduksje dy't waarnommen wurdt tidens iere opslachperioaden, wylst ûndersyk nei Black Dot rjochte is op it begripen fan 'e oarsprong fan patogenen en it minimalisearjen fan de ynfloed dêrfan op sawol planten as opsleine knollen. In koartlyn ôfsletten projekt oer Bakteriële Soft Rot die bliken dat opslachtarieding - benammen it direkt droegjen fan wosken ierappels - effektiver bliek te wêzen as it ferminderjen fan kneuzingen yn it foarkommen fan rot. Mei't de syktedruk dit seizoen relatyf leech bliuwt, omfettet de registraasjekosten fan $20 materialen en lunch, mei hersertifikaasje fan bestridingsmiddels en Certified Crop Adviser-kredyten beskikber foar dielnimmers.
