Integrated Disease Management (IDM)2
Potato is an important crop which holds promise for food to millions of people especially in developing countries. Full potential of the crop can be realized only if diseases that affect the crop are kept under control. Major fungal diseases such as late blight, early blight, black scurf, fusarial wilt/dry rot, wart, powdery scab, charcoal rot and major bacterial diseases like soft rot, common scab, bacterial wilt and brown rot cause considerable loss to potato production in field and otherwise.
