Long time, no post! We have been busy but this week is an exciting time for the @SweetARMOR_Team! Greenhouse experiments to evaluate resistance to Southern RKN and Guava RKN in #sweetpotato are coming down at the NCSU greenhouses. The colder weather won’t stop our work!

SweetARMOR stands for Sweetpotato Advanced Resistance and Management for RKN (root-knot nematodes). We are a @USDA @NIFA-funded project that aims to support the U.S. #sweetpotato industry with research and outreach on root-knot nematodes.
