A worker wearing a protective suit harvests potato tubers at a greenhouse under Yakeshi Senfeng Potato Industry Company, where seed potatoes are farmed through the aeroponics method, in Yakeshi, Inner Mongolia, China, June 16, 2024. The company has invested in aeroponic systems where plants are grown in the air under controlled conditions, and farmers are increasingly demanding potato varieties that are higher-yielding and less susceptible to disease. “Some new and more aggressive (late blight) strains have begun to appear, and they are more resistant to traditional prevention and control methods”, said general manager Li Xuemin.
