The absence of a direct correlation between trapped adults and tuber infestation in sandy soil may be due to lack of statistical power.
A digital imaging technique was developed to quantify accurately the incidence of internal browning in potato tubers.
An infested tuber was defined as one with visible tunnelling damage, regardless of the presence or absence of larvae.
In these three cultivars, therefore, tuber initiation started 19+28 d after emergence of the sprout.
There was a tendency for borderline tubers to pass along the rollers slightly too far and fall into the size above the correct category.
Although post-harvest losses were slightly reduced after four months of storage by both treatments, this had no effect on tuber yield.
Absent from private sector research, not surprisingly, are many crops cultivated by the world's poor, including small-grain cereals, tubers and legumes.
Fresh tubers can be peeled, chipped, dried and milled into -our.
