Crop Name: Potato
Disease Name : Powdery Scab
- Powdery scab affects the tubers and roots of potato plants.
- The disease causes blister-like lesions on the tuber surface, which later burst open and release a powdery mass of brown spores.
- Initially, small raised blisters or pimples appear on the tuber surface.
- In severe cases, secondary bacterial or fungal rots may occur.
- The disease stunts plant growth and weakens the plant.
- Choose well-drained soils and avoid water stagnation in the field.
- Use certified, disease-free seed tubers.
