Enhancing potato pest management
Pest Management Programs
Our entomologist team is developing insect management programs in stock and seed potatoes for insect pests, like the Colorado potato beetle and aphids, that exclude neonicotinoid insecticides.
Pest Prediction and Risk Maps
Our modeling team is developing pest prediction tools that can help forecast different insect life stages and show on a map where they are expected to appear at different times in the season.
Social Science and Economics
Our social science and economics team is evaluating how pest management without reliance on neonicotinoid insecticides impacts potato production.
