Abstract

In August 2004, examination of powdery mildew-infected ‘Russet Burbank’ potato leaves from a furrow-irrigated field in Grant Co., WA, revealed two powdery mildew fungi, one referable to Erysiphe orontii and the other to Leveillula taurica (Lév.) G. Arnaud. Discovery of the two species sporulating together on diseased leaves is consistent with an observation made in the Middle East. This report documents, for the first time, L. taurica on potato in N. America and provides information on distinguishing it from E. orontii. Accepted for publication 9 December 2004. Published 14 December 2004.
