Learn Best Management Practices for Dealing with Common Scab through the Latest Focus on Potato Webcast
Common Scab is a disease that can persist indefinitely in some soils and affects all varieties of potatoes. This unsightly disease causes lesions on tubers, which lowers marketability and increases the costs of production and processing.

This presentation will help users:
1) Get a broad overview of Common Scab and understand its associated symptoms
2) Become aware of the difference between Common Scab and Powdery Scab
