IPM Supplies Reminder
January 20, 2011
The commission is once again offering free supplies to WA growers for trapping leafhoppers and
tuberworm. We are also supplying WA growers with free beating sheets. We have both all black and two-sided
white and black. The beating sheets are $25 for non-WA growers and others. These supplies are pictured below.
To receive these supplies, simply call the commission office, or send an email to
ajensen@potatoes.com
specifying how many fields you need to monitor and/or how many traps you need, and whether you want a
beating sheet. For help with insect identification or any other aspect of insect monitoring, call (509-765-8845) or
email Andy Jensen at the commission office.

Integrated Pest Management in Potato Production
In summer of 2009 a USDA grant of over $2 million was awarded to a team of scientists and extension educators to
develop new information and technologies for improving Integrated Pest Management (IPM) options in potato production.
This IPM portion of the potatoes.com site will be a one-stop-shopping clearinghouse for potato pest management.
