Fighting Common Scab | BASF

Common scab is a pervasive threat to some potato-growing regions in Canada. Lesions and cavities on infected tubers can render them unmarketable. Researchers and industry experts are still trying to determine why the pathogen is more prevalent in some fields than others as well as the best methods for fighting the disease.
While growers use many different practices to control common scab, none have proven to be totally effective. During this webinar hosted by SpudSmart Magazine, four industry experts will discuss common scab and management practices offering the best chances for success when combating the disease.
