Insect biological control of the tomato‐potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli, a review
ABSTRACT The tomato‐potato psyllid (TPP) Bactericera cockerelli is a polyphagous herbivore and a renowned pest of solanaceous crops found in America and the Pacific region. Over the last fifteen years, several strategies have been tested worldwide to successfully manage this species, but these have been mostly unsuccessful.

Potato production in the United States: Two‐decade update and future sustainable pathways
Abstract In the United States, agriculture accounts for approximately 10% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including contributions from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production, a staple crop in the American diet. However, limited research has focused on recent trends in US potato production, particularly the contribution of different ...
