| Abstract: | Rotting of tubers was reported in early potato crops in Co. Wexford in 1995.
Geotrichum candidum, which causes a condition known as rubbery rot, was
isolated from a sample of affected tubers. In further investigations in 1996 both
G. candidum and Phytophthora erythroseptica, the cause of pink rot, were
isolated from diseased tubers. In pathogenicity tests P. erythroseptica re-infected
tubers while G. candidum did not. It was concluded that the disease was pink rot.
In 1997 foliar applications of the systemic fungicide metalaxyl were evaluated for
its control. The level of control obtained was insufficient to overcome the
problem which pink rot can cause in early potatoes. |
