Combining experiential and social learning approaches for crop disease management in a smallholder context: a complex socio-ecological problem by Tafesse, S., Mierlo, B. van, Leeuwis, Cees, Lie, R., Lemaga, B., Struik, P.C.

“…Moreover, farmers recognized their interdependency, role, and responsibility to cooperate to reduce the disease pressure in their community.

Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping for Common Scab Resistance in a Tetraploid Potato Full-Sib Population by Silva Pereira, G. da, Mollinari, M., Qu, X., Thill, C., Zeng, Z.B., Haynes, K., Yencho, George Craig

“…We evaluated a mapping population (∼150 full sibs) derived from a cross between two tetraploid potatoes (‘Atlantic’ × B1829-5) in three environments (MN11, PA11, ME12) under natural common scab pressure. Three measures to common scab reaction, namely percentage of scabby tubers and disease area and lesion indices, were found to be highly correlated (>0.76). …”
