Two new infestations of a microscopic wormlike pest that attacks potato plants have been discovered in eastern Idaho, state and federal agriculture officials say.
Lloyd Knight of the Idaho Department of Agriculture said that both infestations of the potato cyst nematode are in the Shelley area. Department spokeswoman Pam Juker said the infestations were found in August and September. The most recent discoveries follow the report last spring of another infected field.
The nematodes were initially discovered in Bingham County in April 2006.
