Because it is discretionary in nature, it must be renewed in each year’s agriculture appropriations bill. These funds supplement state, university and private industry funds. In addition to its competitive nature and Pollinator Health Reform nationwide scope, the Potato Research Special Grant program also The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department encourages collaboration and eliminates redundant proposals. of Agriculture (USDA) and the White House are being urged to curtail the use of neonicotinoids in agriculture by groups claiming that they are primarily responsible for declining health in pollinators. Scientific evidence points to the fact that a number of stress factors may be impacting the health of pollinators and that the impact of pesticide use on bee health is being overstated. Increasingly, the facts point to decreased availability of high quality forage for pollinators and the presence of the Varroa mite in U.S. bee populations as the key stressors. The potato industry and pesticide registrants understand the importance of pollinators and are taking actions to address the factors that may be impacting pollinator health. NPC supports improved pollinator health and embraces a balanced approach based on science. NPC is developing partnerships with other stakeholders that will encourage and support planting high quality forage for bees and other pollinators.

Based on September 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 41.8 bushels per acre, up 0.4 bushel from last month but down 1.7 bushels from last year. Compared with last month, yield forecasts are higher in the Central Great Plains and along much of the Atlantic Coast. If realized, the forecasted yield in Nebraska will be a record high. Yield forecasts are below last month across the Southern Great Plains and portions of the Southeast as hot, dry conditions persisted during August.

  • Biological and Molecular Characterization of Potato Yellow Blotch Virus, a New Species of the Genus Potyvirus
    Plant Pathology (2019) 68, 251–260 Doi: 10.1111/ppa.12943 Biological and molecular characterization of Potato yellow blotch virus, a new species of the genus Potyvirus C. Nisbet* , W. A. Monger, S. Ross, R. F. Holmes, Y. Nova, C. Thomson, H. A. Goodfellow, C. Lacomme and C. J. Jeffries SASA, Roddinglaw Road, Edinburgh, EH12 9FJ, UK A new species of the genus Potyvirus infecting potatoes, with the proposed name Potato yellow blotch virus (PYBV), was discovered in a breeding line 99m-022-026 in Scotland. The infected plants show isolated yellow blotches on the leaves. The genome of PYBV contains a large open reading frame encoding a single polyprotein of 3054 amino acids. Sequence analysis shows that PYBV is closely related to Potato virus A (PVA), with an overall 72% identity at the nucleotide level for the whole genome. The least conserved P1 protease gene shares only 50% nucleotide identity with PVA. The host range of PYBV was comparable to PVA on solanaceaous and non-solanaceous indicator plant species with the exception of Solanum demissum A and Y. Different symptoms were also observed for PYBV and PVA in Nicotiana benthamiana, Nicotiana hesperis and Nicotiana occidentalis P1. The susceptibility of potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars to PYBV and PVA was similar. In over 5 years of investigation, PYBV has not been found in com- mercial seed and ware potato crops in Scotland. Keywords: diagnosis, host range, incidence, new potyvirus, potato, Potato yellow blotch virus Introduction of PVY (type member of the genus) is composed of two open reading frames (ORFs), a major ORF encoding a Viruses have co-evolved with their hosts in order to adapt single large polyprotein (c.
