Volume 10 Issue 4
My name is Chakradhar Mattupalli and I joined WSU Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center in February 2021 as the new Berry and Potato Pathologist. I am excited to start a new research and extension program focusing on disease management of blueberries and potatoes. If you have any plant pathology concerns, please contact me at c.mattupalli@wsu.edu or you may call my office at 360-848-6138. I also would like to inform you that for the past few weeks, my program has been providing weekly mummy berry updates to blueberry growers in Whatcom and Skagit counties. These reports can be accessed here. I am looking forward to meeting with you all this growing season and learn about the disease issues affecting blueberries and potatoes in northwestern Washington.
