Potato Crop Effective Management Strategies To Tackle Future Pest Threats
Effective Management Against Potato Post-Harvest Diseasespotatoes Are Susceptible To Post-Harvest Diseases, Which Result In Economic Losses And Food Wastage. Candidatus Liberibacter Solanacearum (Clso) Causes Zebra Chip Disease In Potatoes And Is Introduced By The Psyllid Bactericera Cockerelli. Strict European Regulations Are In Place To Ensure The Quality And Safety Of Potato Imports And Production. Factors Such As Globalisation, Climate Change, Economic Considerations And The Political Landscape Are Increasing The Risk Of Potato Pests And Soil-Borne Pathogens Infiltrating The System. The Eu-Funded Patafest Project Will Identify Potato Varieties Resistant To Clso And Post-Harvest Pathogens By Examining The Ecological Pathways Of Pest Spread At The Molecular Level. It Aims To Prevent The Transmission Of Plant And Soil-Borne Diseases Through Pre- And Post-Harvest Treatments.
