Excerpt from The Golden Nematode of Potatoes

Present evidence indicates that the field originally found infested was probably the first field into which the disease had been introduced. Certain procedures in farm operation were a major factor in the local spread of the disease, as more than 20 additional fields farmed by the same operator have since been found to be infested.

In 1944 the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets invoked regulatory measures banning the use Of potatoes from infested fields for seed purposes and regulating the sale of topsoil from such fields. These regulations also governed the Cleaning and movement of farm equipment, potatoes and other root crops, and nursery stock.

In 1949 potatoes from known lightly infested land (fig. 4) were washed and treated at 132° F. For 5 minutes. Thereafter they were allowed to be marketed in paper bags without further restriction.
