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.
