Abstract
About 10% of the ware-sized tubers from a 1990 potato crop were found to have dry rot. The affected tubers had well defined circular patches of dry rot, either with the tuber surface depressed and cracked, or with deep, open cavities where the tuber surface had disintegrated. The rotted tissues contained large numbers of the stem and bulb nematode, Ditylenchus dipsaci. This is the first recorded case in the UK; dry rot of potato tubers is usually caused by the potato tuber nematode D. destructor.
