Target Audience:The target audience for this work is other research scientists in the field as well as those involved in the production and marketing of the crops addressed. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project has provided opportunities for graduate student education, as well as providing students an opportunity to present research findings in several professional settings. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?This information has been presented at the Potato Expo, the Idaho Seed Potato Conference, the Idaho Potato Conference, Colorado State University, and the Colorado Seed Potato Conference. This includes posters, presentations and interviews on Facebook live streaming. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?I plan to continue refining the calculator, as well as complete work in progress to better examine the interactions between economics, seed potato production and virus loads.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
The overarching goal of this project is to examine factors impacting Idaho and Pacific Northwest agriculture through the development of economic models of production systems. This will include, but not be limited to, cost and returns to production, economic consequences of diseases, pests and other pathogens, the economics of new varieties, and the economics of biological control of crop pests. Specific goals include: 1. examining the economic consequences of diseases including soil borne, seed borne, and insect vectored pathogens, on the production, sales and trade of impacted crops. 2. determine the broader economic consequences of results found in objective 1 on the economy of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. 3. examine the economic feasibility of biocontrol agents in the form of biofumigants, trap crops, and combinations thereof.

Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, University of Idaho August 2018 How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Some of the results were disseminated through presentations and workshops that the Montana Seed Potato Seminar. Other results will be disseminated in the comin months through posters and presentations at the Potato Expo and the Idaho Potato Conference. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Maunscripts will be submitted for journal publication. Presentations at Agricultural Economic and interdisciplinary conferences will also take place.

Target Audience:Target audience is everyone involved in the production of agricultural crops in the state of Idaho and beyond. Also included are other scientists in agricultural economics and plant production/pathology related disciplines. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This website just went live, so we are anticipating a number of people providing feedback on our efforts. The tool provides a never before demonstrated evaluation of seedborne PVY infection. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?This information has been presented at the Potato Expo, the Idaho Seed Potato Conference, the Idaho Potato Conference, Colorado State University, and the Colorado Seed Potato Conference. This includes posters, presentations and interviews on Facebook live streaming. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?I plan to continue refining the calculator, as well as complete work in progress to better examine the interactions between economics, seed potato production and virus loads.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
The PVY calculator was contstuucted and placed on a publicly available website. This allows users to examine how much economic damage may be occurring in their potato crop due to seedborne PVY infections.
