Late blight
Late
blight is the most important fungal disease of potato in perhaps most of the
potato growing regions of the world.
In India, it is very widespread in the hills where the disease is very
severe but in the plains it is less severe or not of regular occurrence.
The problem with this disease is that it spreads very fast and unless it
is identified
early, control is difficult.
A multipronged strategy
for control of late blight is desirable for effective control
