Abstract

The long-standing market and customer demand for processed potato products and the demand for washed and packaged potatoes mean that tubers' quality (smooth skin, no signs of disease) and suitability for processing are of great importance. This tendency makes any pathogen causing skin damage of economic importance. One of them is the fungus Helminthosporium solani, the preparator of silver scab. The importance of the disease and its cause is also due to other factors: the lack of resistant varieties, the complex cycle of disease development with a less significant field phase, and a difficult-to-control phase of development during storage. An additional factor is the lack of available chemical disease control agents. The resistance to thiabendazole used both in spring and autumn, found in the 1970s and 1980s, was one of the most important reasons for the increased importance of the disease. Due to the complex cycle of disease development (field and storage phase), combating this disease is difficult and requires all available methods of integrated protection.
