Abstract

FUNGAL diseases of potato tubers can cause considerable losses in the United Kingdom every year. At present in Scotland the most serious is gangrene, a rot of tuber flesh caused by Phoma exigua var foveata. Skin spot, caused by Oospora pustulans, is also important, but in this case the organism does not rot tuber flesh: small pustules appear on the surface and, more importantly, eyes may be killed and sprouting affected.
