The Plant Management Network (PMN) is a nonprofit online publishing effort whose mission is to enhance the health, management, and production of agricultural and horticultural crops.

They achieve this mission by publishing applied, multidisciplinary online resources for researchers, consultants, growers, pesticide applicators, and other professionals involved in the management of large and small crops.

One of these resources is "Focus on Potato"

Focus on Potato is a commodity specific web portal of the Plant Management Network (PMN).

This resource is intended to enhance the health, management, and production of potato crops through webcasts and other science-based management information. The project is headed by Dr. Gary Secor, North Dakota State University, USA.
