Bio-Intensive Management of Fungal Diseases of Potatoes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Management of Potato Pests and Diseases

Abstract

Potato is an important food crop in the world including India. Potato crop is affected by various phytopathogens, viz., fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Among these, fungal pathogens may cause significant economic yield losses, if proper plant protection measures are not applied. Among the fungal pathogens, Phytophthora infestans, Alternaria spp., Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium spp. are the major pathogens, while Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Sclerotium rolfsii, Synchytrium endobioticum, Helminthosporium solani, and Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea are considered as minor pathogens. For effective management of these fungal pathogens various methods, i.e., chemical control, biological control, planting resistant varieties, cultural control, and physical control are applied. Chemical management is highly effective to manage the diseases in short span; however, due to continuous and irrational use of the chemicals, pathogens may develop resistance against certain classes of fungicides. Moreover, these chemicals can lead to environmental pollution and toxicity in the crop produce. Bio-intensive management is an integrated approach, which involved biological control, cultural practices/agronomical practices and resistant varieties, etc. These approaches not only aid in managing the diseases but also increased the crop yield with sustainable approaches. In the present chapter major fungal diseases of potato, their causal organism, symptoms, losses, epidemiology, and bio-intensive approaches for management are discussed.
