Ke kū nei ka ʻoihana ʻuala o ʻAmelika i kahi paʻakikī nui i ka hakakā ʻana i nā maʻi ʻuala e hiki ai ke hoʻopau i nā hua nui a me nā pōʻino hua. Eia nō naʻe, ke hōʻike nei nā mea hou i nā ʻenehana hoʻokele huaʻai a me nā ʻano ʻuala kūpaʻa i ka maʻi i nā hopena maikaʻi i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hopena o kēia mau maʻi i nā hua ʻuala. E ʻimi kēia ʻatikala i nā ʻikepili hou loa a me nā mea hou i ka ʻoihana ʻuala US a me kā lākou hopena i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka mahi ʻuala.
Wahi a kahi hōʻike hou a ka United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), ʻo nā maʻi ʻuala e like me ka potato virus Y (PVY) a me ka potato leafroll virus (PLRV) kahi hopohopo nui no ka ʻoihana ʻuala ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hiki i kēia mau maʻi ke hōʻemi i ka nui o ka hua a me nā hemahema o ka maikaʻi o nā mea kanu ʻuala, e alakaʻi ana i nā poho waiwai no ka poʻe mahiʻai a hoʻemi i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻuala kiʻekiʻe no nā mea kūʻai.
No ka pale ʻana i kēia mau maʻi maʻi, hana pū nā mea noiʻi a me nā mahiʻai e hoʻomohala a hoʻokō i ka hoʻokele maʻi hou 'ana i kūpono. ʻO kekahi ala hoʻohiki ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano ʻuala kūpaʻa i ka maʻi, hiki ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka laha ʻana o nā maʻi maʻi a hōʻemi i ka pono o nā lāʻau lapaʻau. No ka laʻana, ua hoʻomohala ka USDA i nā ʻano ʻuala hou i kū i ka PVY, me ka Ranger Russet a me ka Russet Norkotah.
Ma waho aʻe o nā ʻano ʻano kūʻē i ka maʻi, ʻo nā mea hou i nā ʻenehana hoʻokele hua e hōʻike pū ana i ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hopena o nā maʻi ʻuala. No ka laʻana, hiki i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana mahiʻai pololei e like me nā drones a me nā kiʻi kiʻi satellite ke kōkua i ka poʻe mahiʻai e ʻike a mālama i nā wahi wela o nā maʻi ma kā lākou māla. Hiki i kēia ke ʻae i ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi i hoʻopili ʻia a hōʻemi i ka pono o nā noi kemika ākea.
ʻO ka holoʻokoʻa, ke hana nui nei ka ʻoihana ʻuala US i ka hakakā ʻana i nā maʻi ʻuala a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke olakino a me ka maikaʻi o nā mea kanu ʻuala. ʻOiai he nui nā hana e hana ʻia, ke hāʻawi nei nā mea hou loa i ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi a me nā ʻenehana hoʻokele huaʻai i nā hopena hoʻohiki no ka poʻe mahiʻai a me nā mea kūʻai aku.
