DISEASES
AND PESTS
- New methods
for detection of potato pathogens: In addition to classical methods,
DNA-based techniques will be explored for a more accurate and faster
detection of specific potato pathogens.
- New methods
for control of potato diseases in the field and during storage: The
use of chemical-free methods will be investigated in order to provide
sustainable, safer, and environmentally sound methods for control of
potato pathogens, especially the one causing late blight.
- Simple
economic thresholds for Colorado potato beetle and potato flea beetles
- Field
sampling schemes for Colorado potato beetles that are applicable to
Manitoba conditions
- Appreciation
for the effects on potato yield of interactions between pests insects
and between insects and diseases of potato.
- Interactions
of Colorado potato beetles and fungal diseases: Improvement of methods
to predict time of appearance and number of generations of the Colorado
potato beetle with a view to incorporating results into the Agroemeteorological
sensor network.
