The potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella
(Zeller) (PTW), is one of the most important limitations to
potato, Solanum tuberosum L., productivity worldwide.
Leaves, stems, petioles and more importantly, potato tubers,
in the field and storage can be seriously affected. Due to the
relatively recent arrival of the PTWin the United States...
Beet leafhoppers were collected weekly on
yellow sticky traps placed at 36 locations in Morrow and
Umatilla Counties in northeastern Oregon in April through
November 2007, 2008, and 2009. Insects were counted,
collected, and a subset of the insects was tested for the
presence of the beet leafhopper-transmitted virescence
agent...
Bacillus subtilis α-amylase was used to hydrolyze
starch from peeled and whole potatoes (Solanum tuberosum).
Effect of gelatinization temperature, pH, enzyme concentration,
temperature of hydrolysis and presence of calcium
ions were investigated. Optimum conditions for hydrolysis
were when α-amylase levels were 0.3 percent of the starch
concentration in the presence...
Management factors used for studies on potato scab
control were evaluated for their effect on tuber russeting
and related biochemical and anatomical parameters
during 1971 and 1972.
Russet Burbank potatoes were irrigated in 1971 to
maintain high available soil moisture (between 90% and
field capacity) for 0, 3, 6 and...
