For those potato farmers placing orders for seed potatoes soon, consider the Plant and Pest Advisory put out by Andy Wyenandt at Rutgers: http://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/best-management-practices-for-managing-dickeya-dianthicola-in-potato/
If you suspect bacterial infection in seed potatoes when received, cut or at planting, contact your County Extension Office.
