Learn Integrated Management Practices for Storage Diseases in Focus on Potato This integrated management presentation by Dr. Barry Jacobsen at Montana State University will help growers, consultants and researchers better understand the management of diseases that occur during potato storage. This presentation is most applicable to temperate production areas of North America but does address a few diseases that do not yet occur in North America.  View this and other presentations in Focus on Potato. Common Rust Discussed in Focus on Corn Webcast This two-part presentation by Dr. Snook Pataky at the University of Illinois first describes methods to differentiate common and southern rust in the field and in the lab.
