Effect of Host Plant Resistance and Reduced Rates and Frequencies of Fungicide Application to Control Potato Late Blight
Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum, L.) caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is a major worldwide threat to the production of high quality potatoes (12). Unchecked, P. infestans can rapidly defoliate plants in the field and can infect potato tubers when spores are washed into the soil (15). Prior to the early 1990s, the population of P. infestans throughout much of the world ...
متن کاملHost diversity can reduce potato late blight severity for focal and general patterns of primary inoculum.
ABSTRACT The use of host diversity as a tool for management of potato late blight has not been viewed as promising in the past. But the increasing importance of late blight internationally has brought new consideration to all potential management tools. We studied the effect of host diversity on epidemics of potato late blight in Oregon, where there was little outside inoculum. The experimental...
متن کاملEvaluation of innovative products to reduce copper applications to control potato late blight in organic production systems.
The main objective of this project, VETAB project, is to determine alternatives to massive copper utilization to control potato late blight (Phytophtora infestans (Mont.) de Bary) in organic systems. To reach such a target, we first performed a screening of candidate products and additives based on their efficiency in the laboratory, under controlled conditions. We evaluated a wide range of pro...
متن کاملLate Blight Resistance of RB Transgenic Potato Lines
Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), incited by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is a devastating disease affecting tuber yield and storage. Recent work has isolated a resistance gene, RB, from the wild species Solanum bulbocastanum Dun. Earlier work in Toluca, Mexico, observed significant levels of field resistance under intense disease pressure in a somatic hybrid containing R...
متن کاملLate blight resistance in a diploid full-sib potato family
Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is the most destructive disease of potato worldwide. As this pathogen can rapidly overcome major race-specific resistance genes, identifying the basis for enhanced quantitative resistance has become a crucial element for implementing advanced breeding strategies. A population of 230 full-sib progeny derived from a cross between two ...
