Northwest agriculture researchers in the US say they are finding more cases of a zebra chip disease in the region’s potatoes.

While other potato growers use preventative insecticide applications to protect their crops from a new disease to the Pacific Northwest, called zebra chip, Fred Brossy can only wait and see if it hits him.

Liberibacter, the bacterium responsible for zebra chip, has been found in an Idaho potato field.

Do potato psyllids migrate from one location to the next, starting in northern Mexico and moving northward as the potato season progresses, or are psyllid populations local?

The University of Idaho extension today announced that the potato psyllids found last month in Idaho tentatively tested positive for Liberibacter, Zebra Chip disease.

Two adult potato psyllids were found on yellow sticky cards that were collected June 19 from a Twin Falls County potato field, according to an alert issued Tuesday by University of Idaho Extension staff.
