Abstract

The paper describes the incidence and importance of main bacterial diseases of potato. The reaction of potato to infection with bacteria causing blackleg, soft rot, ring rot and brown rot is compared. Moreover control strategies against these bacterial diseases of potato are discussed.


Keywords:
