Potato Wilt and Its Control
نویسنده
چکیده
A four-year rotation is desirable for potatoes. Proper rotation of crops is one necessary practice for avoiding the holding over of potato diseases in the soil. For potato wilt control at least a four-year rotation should be used. The one shown here makes use of corn, grain, clover, and potatoes. The best basic crop rotation for Western Oregon is grain, clover seed, clover hay, and a cultivated crop. A variety of materials including potatoes, corn, kale, etc., may be used for the cultivated crop. This may, of course, be varied if desired better to suit local needs.

Induced resistance in potato plants against verticillium wilt invoked by chitosan and Acibenzolar-S-methyl
Verticillium wilt of potato is a major limiting factor in potato production caused by Verticillium dahliae. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy two elicitors including Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and Chitosan as plant activator in controlling of potato verticillium wilt in vitro and greenhouse conditions. ASM and chitosan were tested in vitro using Potato dextrose Agar (PDA)...

The bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum is a widely accepted model organism for the study of pathogenicity in plants [1]. This soil-borne bacterium, which belongs to the betaproteobacteria, is responsible for bacterial wilt on more than 200 plant species from 50 botanical families, including important crops such as potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper, tobacco and banana. In fact, bacterial wilt is co...
متن کاملBiological control of potato bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum in Ethiopia: Determination of biovars of Ralstonia solanacearum
Ralstonia solanacearum is a very destructive pathogen that causes wilt in potato and many other solanacean crops in Ethiopia. In order to select effective antagonistic biocontrol agents for R. solanacearum strains, it is necessary to characterize the population of pathogenic strains. Therefore, 62 strains collected from wilted potato, tomato and pepper plants and potato tubers from the major po...
متن کاملPotato Early Dying: Management Challenges in a Changing Production Environment
The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) had its start in the Andean highlands of South America, where archeological evidence indicates it has been cultivated for at least 8,000 years (72). Today it is grown on all continents except Antarctica. Serving as a primary food source to indigenous people when the Spanish explorers arrived in Peru in the mid-1500s, the potato traveled the globe as a valuable ...
متن کاملIdentification of Molecular Markers Linked to the Verticillium wilt Resistance Gene Homologue in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Verticillium wilt is a vascular disease predominantly caused by the soil-borne fungi Verticillium dahliae and Verticillium albo-atrum. Most of the commercial potato cultivars grown in the USA are susceptible to Verticillium, resulting in significant crop losses. Development of new cultivars with resistance gene(s) against the pathogen can be assisted with molecular marker technology that allows...
