Common Scab is a disease that can persist indefinitely in some soils and affects all varieties of potatoes. Screening methods to assess scab susceptibility in breeding programs are … The disease does not cause yield losses, damage the flesh, or affect consump-tion of the potatoes. The filamentous mycelia have few or no cross walls. Due to the lack of efficacious pesticides, crop rotations, and resistant potato cultivars against the disease, we investigated whether biological control can serve as an alternative approach. As no highly effective methods exist for managing CS, this study explored the possibility of using biological control. Every year I get multiple questions about common scab.

This unsightly disease causes lesions on tubers, which lowers marketability and increases the costs of production and processing. The aim of this study was to evaluate certain fungicides against Streptomyces scabies (Thaxter), the main causal agent of common scab disease in potato and other crops, in vitro and in vivo.Fourteen isolates of S. scabies were isolated from naturally infected potato tubers showing common scab symptoms. Powdery scab is common in most potato growing districts of Australia. Although not directly affecting tuber yields, disease lesions markedly reduce tuber value and require extra processing steps during French fry production.

Due to the lack of efficacious pesticides, crop rotations, and resistant potato cultivars against the disease, we investigated whether biological control can serve as an alternative approach. When scab-like lesions form on the tubers, the market quality is significantly reduced. 2006). The same pathogen can cause scab of garden beets, sugar beets, radish, and other crops. It reduces crop value and, in extreme cases, yield (Hiltunen et al. Potatoes are widely cultivated, and could contribute to reducing worldwide food shortages. The disease does not cause yield losses, damage the flesh, or affect consump-tion of the potatoes. trailer This serious disease can be found in all potato-growing areas throughout the world. Isolates of an organism that causes common scab of potato were first isolated by Roland Thaxter in Connecticut in 1890 and in 1892 he described the primary strain as Oospora scabies.The original culture was not maintained. Common scab of potatoes is caused by Streptomyces scabies, a very prevale nt, soil-inha biting ba cterium.
