Adaptive detection of volunteer potato plants in sugar beet fields [PDF]
, 2010 Volunteer potato is an increasing problem in crop rotations where winter temperatures are often not cold enough to kill tubers leftover from harvest. Poor control, as a result of high labor demands, causes diseases like Phytophthora infestans to spread ...
