Crop Rotation and the Occurrence of Fungal Diseases in Potatoes

  • Chapter
Effects of Crop Rotation on Potato Production in the Temperate Zones

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 40))

Abstract

An overview of soil-borne fungal potato diseases with importance to European potato production and a description of symptoms are given. The way these pathogens interact with the host and with potato growing in general and the effect of climate in this context is elucidated. Soil-borne pathogens are subdivided in soil-invaders, which as a rule are not persistent to such an extent that they maintain treshold levels for economic damage in the absence of their host crop, and soil-inhabitants which are capable to maintain such levels during prolonged periods of absence of the host. The importance of the role of soil-borne inoculum is discussed in relation to other sources such as tuber-borne and wind-borne inoculum. The effects of type and duration of rotation, host range, the frequency of other host crops and host weeds, and intervals between host and non-host crops on build-up and reduction of the inoculum potential, and the impact of the infection potential on yield and quality is considered. The conclusion is that there is a field for research for adequate quantitative and mathematical analyses of the build-up and decline of inoculum of soil-borne fungal pathogens.
