Potato Psyllid and Zebra Chip in Idaho will help growers, consultants, and other practitioners involved in the potato industry in the Pacific Northwest to understand more about potato psyllids and zebra chip in our growing region, particularly in Idaho.

Specifically in this presentation, practitioners will learn about: the recent emergence of zebra chip in the Pacific Northwest, results of the monitoring efforts for potato psyllids in Idaho during 2012, and current research at the University of Idaho aimed at understanding the biology and management of potato psyllids and zebra chip in our area.

After viewing this presentation, one should know more about the ongoing efforts at University of Idaho aimed at understanding the distribution and abundance of potato psyllids across our state and at developing management strategies for this vector of the zebra chip pathogen.

Both presentations have open access untill November 30, 2013
