This presentation by Dr Paul Horne, entomologist and owner/director of IPM Technologies outlines the elements of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in any crop but particularly in potatoes. The most important biological, cultural and chemical options available to growers are described and specific examples are given from Australian potato production.

This PotatoLink magazine article discusses making the most of the quieter months preparing for next season’s crop — checking long-term weather forecast, soil testing, checking irrigation equipment, considering drainage, and managing pests and disease.
