Respondents wanted better awareness of PMN’s many offerings. Our monthly Spotlight will help achieve this. Resource Spotlight: PMN’s Partner Extension Search Most of America’s land-grant universities have partnered with PMN to promote quality, science-based crop management information. PMN’s free Partner Extension Search furthers this goal. Sometimes it’s difficult for growers and crop consultants to navigate extension sites. PMN’s Extension Search offers a clean, easy to use keyword search from one place. By typing a few keywords and hitting the ‘search’ button, users can find quality crop management information from across the nation or an individual state. The Extension Search targets tens of thousands of pages of information, covering nearly every crop grown in the United States. Try this resource. View PMN’s full list of resources. Fungicide, Nematicide, Biological Control Trials Added to PDMR, Vol. 6 PDMR offers unbiased trials on the effectiveness of fungicides, nematicides, and biological controls on the market today, as well as products and active ingredients available in the past.

There are many real-life examples where proper identification of a disease was not made until after avoidable inputs were applied, management changed, or rumors started. This month’s Focus on Potato presentation by Dr. Nora Olsen at the University of Idaho offers practitioners an overview of the various diagnostic options available so they can more clearly identify disease pressures affecting their fields and make more informed management decisions.
