Idaho lawmakers have refused to introduce a bill that would have provided some financial relief to potato growers who face additional regulations in the effort to control pale cyst nematode.

The PCN parasite, which can significantly reduce yields, was first detected in this state in a small area of Eastern Idaho in 2006.
