USDA – North Dakota – KirK is contracted with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to provide services for surface soil sampling for Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN). PCN is a microscopic roundworm which causes growth retardation or at very high densities damage to the roots and early senescence of potato crops. Occurrence of PCN in the U.S. has been limited to a small area in Idaho. However, APHIS continues to provide soil screening to verify that U.S. potatoes are PCN-free and to aid in early detection of PCN. KirK uses USDA approved sampling methods for seed potato and commercial production fields. For more information click here. |
