Diversity and Impact of Soft Rot Pathogens of Potato in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Brazil, Jessie A.
Abstract:: Bacterial soft rot of potato (Solanum tuberosum), caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya species, is among the most common and destructive potato diseases in the United States. These pathogens cause a variety of vascular wilts, and in potato cause a disease complex that includes tuber soft rot, blackleg, aerial stem rot,...
