Posted on: November 18, 2009 by Nora Olsen
The USDA updated the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP) Audit Verification Checklist on November 9, 2009.
See www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELPRDC5050869 to view the latest version of the audit. (Cut and paste the link into your browser.)
There are substantial changes to the audit that will be necessary to incorporate into your on-farm food safety program. All current University of Idaho GAP Organizational Manuals are no longer valid and updates will be required. These updates are currently under construction and will be posted at www.kimberly.uidaho.edu/potatoes/gap.htm
Other manuals or paperwork you use will need to be updated to include documentation to address the latest version of the GAP Audit.

Late blight found in southern Idaho
Potato All Locations
Posted on: September 1, 2009 by
Late blight has been confirmed in multiple fields in southern Idaho. The late blight is not severe and with the current weather the threat of spread is low. The source of the late blight is not known at this time.
The late blight forecast was positive for all of southern Idaho this year. Last year it is likely that late blight was more wide-spread than was reported based on suspected late blight tubers in storage. Fields with healthy, green vines should be scouted thoroughly. Scouting should be concentrated in areas of the field that remain wet the longest, such as the center tower of pivots, along mainlines, in low-lying areas, and near windbreaks and shaded areas.
Ranger Russet tubers are especially susceptible to infection, so fungicide applications may be necessary especially if the vines will not be killed for a few more weeks. Use fungicides labeled for late blight. Some early blight fungicides (such as Endura) are not effective against late blight. If late blight is confirmed in a field and the tubers are destined for long term storage, tubers can be treated with phosphorous acid to decrease the risk of storage rot.

Dr. Jim Barbour from the UI Parma R and E Center, Terry Clinton from Crookham Company and I are collaborating on a project to trap corn earworm moths across the Treasure Valley. We set out 12 traps at various locations from near Melba to near Weiser. I am checking the traps every few days and posting the moth counts to this website. Below are the moth counts from this week . Purdue University recommends the treatment threshold to be 10 moths per trap per night. This is really the last set of data posted to the pest alert website for this project.
