With the Canadian Spud Congress coming up on March 22 and 23, we’re highlighting the sessions happening at it on Spud Smart. In this story we’re taking a closer look at the “Working Together on Potato Early Dying Management — CanPEDNet” session.
The Canadian Potato Early Dying Network, aka the CanPEDNet, is a national research project that’s working to understand and manage Potato Early Dying (PED) in Canada. In this joint presentation from Mario Tenuta and Dahu Chen they’ll give an overview of the causes and impact of PED in Canada. Research from CanPEDNet will be used to discuss causal pathogens and pests, diagnostic testing, and control measures.
Moderator: Ashley Robinson, editor of Spud Smart
Time: 12:30 p.m. CDT on March 22

Together with many colleagues and collaborators, Tenuta’s team is researching many soil-related issues, including controlling potato early dying, improving nitrogen use efficiency of crops, mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizers, development of rapid molecular tests of emerging soilborne diseases and nematode pests, and improvement of soil health. Tenuta is the lead of the Canadian Potato Early Dying Network (CanPEDNet).
