SEED POTATO SOIL SAMPLING AND PROCESSING |
| (contract last updated 08/02/2013) |
|
SCOPE: Contract for Seed Potato Soil Sampling and Processing to meet a USDA-APHIS requirement for potato cyst nematode sampling.
Wisconsin’s potato industry ranks 3rd in the nation with a total crop valued at $232 million, accounting for 6.6% of the US potato production. The objective of the survey is to detect possible infestations by pale potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) and golden nematode (Globodera rostochiensis). Both potato cyst nematodes (PCN) are the focus of a national survey and of regulatory concern. Wisconsin anticipates continuing participation in the national survey effort.
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) requirements for sample protocols have changed yearly since this project was initiated. Thus, ability to be flexible in sample procedure is required.
Currently, sampling is done in a number of locations in the State including locations in the counties of Dane, Richland, Oneida, Vilas and Langlade and near the cities of Antigo, Eagle River and Rhinelander. Additional locations may be added over the term of this contract as new growers are added. |
