Identification and deployment of CLso and/or the psyllid resistant cultivars, in combination with integrated pest management, may provide a sustainable long-term strategy to control ZC. Current management measures for ZC disease mainly focus on chemical control and integrated pest management strategies of the psyllid vector to limit the spread of CLso, however, they add to the costs of potato production. ZC disease causes major yield losses in many potato-growing regions and is associated with the fastidious, phloem-limited bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum ( CLso) that is vectored by the potato-tomato psyllid ( Bactericera cockerelli Šulc). As the demand for fresh and processed potato products is increasing globally, there is a need to manage and control devastating diseases such as zebra chip (ZC). Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop worldwide. 5Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, United States.4Department of Horticultural Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, United States.
