Survey seeks input on direct tuber testing

An anonymous survey seeks feedback from potato industry stakeholders on direct tuber testing concerns and needs in each state.

The survey stems from a November 2023 certification section meeting of the Potato Association of America, at which a subcommittee was formed to further explore integrating direct tuber testing into certification programs. It seeks input from certification managers/staff, diagnosticians, seed growers, commercial growers, industry partners and other parties.

Results of the survey, available online, will be compiled and reviewed by the subcommittee and used to create focus goals, according to a statement.
