Bacteria eat up $60 million worth of onions and potatoes

Bacterial diseases of onions and potatoes cause $60 million in losses each year in the United States.

To reduce losses to agriculture, scientists will study for 5 years how bacterial plant pathogens penetrate and move through crop production systems.

For this purpose, a special study "Advancing Knowledge of the Biology and Etiology of Bacterial Plant Pathogens Towards Management Strategies" is being conducted from 2022 to 2027.

The results of the study will help scientists fight harmful bacteria. So far, agriculture is poorly protected.

The Agricultural Research Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE website says: "For example, there are no commercially available potato or onion cultivars with
soft rot resistance, thus management options for these pathogens are very limited. Additionally, there is little known about the specific mechanisms involved in host tolerance or susceptibility."

The study began Feb 26, 2022. The work is scheduled to be completed Feb 25, 2027.

More detailed information about the study is available on the Agricultural Research Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE website
