Fredericton is in the eye of the potato world this week with more than 200 delegates from Canada, the United States and 10 other countries attending the 93rd annual meeting of the Potato Association of America.
The potato virus Y, which can affect crop yields and quality, will be a major topic of the international group representing growers, researchers and marketers of potatoes.
Organizer Loretta Mikitzel said scientists will be explaining their research and findings to improve the potato harvest.
She said that includes looking at alternative non-chemical methods of controlling pests, diseases and weeds.
