Potato Diseases and their Management

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Disease Management of Fruits and Vegetables ((DMFV,volume 1))

Abstract

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) a native food crop, now grown in many parts of the world and next only to cereals in importance, was moved out of its native home in the Andes (South America) only during 15th century. All potato varieties are clones propagated vegetatively by ‘seed’ tubers and because of this are vulnerable to a wide range of pathogenic organisms, which they transmit from crop to crop. The pathogens may be fungi, bacteria or viruses. Losses can occur when crops are growing, at lifting and when tubers are stored. Some diseases do not destroy tubers, but the surface blemishes they cause decrease marketable value. There is therefore, much emphasis on the production and use of high quality, disease free seed. Though the list of pathogens infecting potato has remained almost unchanged over many decades, there has been steady expansion in the area under potato and improvement in tuber yield/productivity. Obviously, it has been made possible mainly through biotechnology, which make the crop more suitable for genetic manipulations through modern techniques. The potential application of genetic engineering in potato is only limited by human imagination and success stories of expressing new genes bestowing noval traits to potato are regular features. These traits include resistance to viruses, insects, herbicides, abiotic stresses, improvement in quality characters and pharmaceutical possibilities. The main aim of all these developments is to make potato cultivation more efficient, economical and environmentally safe.
