Wireworm feeding on potatoes during ripening is affected by soil moisture, tuber mass, and cultivar but not by tuber CO2 respiration.

Journal of economic entomology | PubMed: 2026-02-14

This study investigates factors influencing wireworm damage in potato tubers, focusing on cultivar susceptibility, soil moisture, and harvest timing. The findings suggest that selecting resistant cultivars and managing environmental factors can mitigate crop losses, providing insights for potato breeding and pest management strategies.

Effects of mashed potato on techno-functional characteristics of set hybrid yogurt.

Journal of Food Science and Technology | PubMed: 2026-02-01

This study investigates the impact of incorporating mashed potato into yogurt at different concentrations to evaluate its techno-functional properties. Results indicate that adding mashed potato reduces syneresis and modifies texture and viscosity, with a 25% concentration providing optimal stability and texture for fermented dairy applications.
