Abstract
This study focuses on the impact of pre-planting irradiation of seed potatoes on the phenophases of the root crop and proliferation of fungus Rhizoctonia solani on the new crop tubers. A two-year monitoring of seed potatoes after irradiation shows that treatment of tubers with 30-40 Gy decreases the spread of fungal infection on the surface of the tubers. It was found that low-energy electrons, used in the experiment, are the most effective irradiation treatment, since they penetrate in the upper layers of potato tubers affected by the fungus.
