Abstract

Early blight commonly occurs in potato foliage, particularly in the regions of high temperatures and humidity during growing seasons. In the climatic conditions of Poland the disease usually occurs earlier in the season than does late blight. In the recent years, early blight caused the reduction in potato yield ranging from 6% to 45%. In the years 1998–2006, an evaluation of the early blight occurrence in potato crops was carried out throughout Poland, in co-operation with the Plant Health and Seed Inspection Service. The disease incidence was recorded in most production areas, reaching approximately 86% of the surveyed crops. There are often considerable discrepancies in the results obtained in different regions or countries as regards the effectiveness of fungicides used in field trials to control early blight. These may result from the differences in a composition of the genus Alternaria in different geographical regions. A population of the genus was analyzed in 2006 in northern part of Poland, using the Burkard spore sampler. The results obtained showed that the occurrence of A. alternata was more frequent than that of A. solani.
