This presentation will help consultants, growers, and other practitioners in U.S. potato-growing regions to better understand zebra chip disease symptoms, monitor potato psyllid populations, and advise on effective management of potato psyllids. More specifically, viewers will learn about the history of zebra chip disease and the states affected, disease symptoms above and below ground, the potato psyllid and potato psyllid research, sampling and monitoring of potato psyllid populations, challenges to psyllid management, useful management approaches, and resistance management. Although much of the presentation contains information obtained from research in Texas, it will be helpful to practitioners from other potato-growing regions.
