14 000 ha -> 350 000 tons = 25 t/ha (10 – 70 t/ha)

3000 growers, 1 – 80 ha of potatoes per grower

Silver scurf Helminthosporium solani

Silver scurf

• Potato is the only known host plant

• Survives as a saprophyte in soil, and multiplies

on senescent plants of many species

• Tubes can become infected in the growing

season, at harvest or during storage

• Needs humid conditions to infect, the infection

speed increases with temperature

• Under optimal conditions the fungus needs

9 hours to penetrate into the cells

Silver scurf

• Infected cells die, loose their pigments and

become filled with air –> silvery lesions

• Increased the water loss in infected tissue ->

shrinking

• Inoculum sources: Seed tubers (and soil)

• PCR results from 2008 - 2009: a lot of

inoculum in seed tubers and low levels in

soil

Control measures – Silver scurf

• Crop rotation + avoid cereals as the last crop before

potatoes

• Shorter growing seasons (presprout seed tubers)+

shorten the period between haulm killing and harvest

• Suppressive soils

• Low plant density

• Dry curing

• Cold storage and no condense

• Seed treatment: Fungazil (imazalil), Maxim

(fludioxonil), Emesto (penflufen), Emesto silver

(penflufen + protioconazol), Serenade (Basillus subtilis)

• In furrow fungicide application: Amistar (azoxystrobin)

Black scurf

Rhizoctonia solani

Sclerotia and

hypha

Black scurf Rhizoctonia solani

(Thanatephorus cucumeris)

• Sunken dark brown lesions on

sprouts, stems, stolons and roots

• Infections in stolons early in the

season -> tuber abortion, new

tubers is developed higher up ->

more small tubers and more green

tubers

Control measures – Black scurf

• Crop rotation, several years without potatoes

• Suppressive soils

• Shorter growing seasons + shorten the period between

haulm killing and harvest -> less sclerotia on tubers

• Dry curing

• Cold storage and no condense

• Seed treatment: Rizolex (tolclofosmethyl), Monceren

(pencycuron), Maxim (fludioxonil), Emesto

(penflufen), Emesto silver (penflufen + protioconazol)

Silver scurf

Silver scurf

Black dot

Plug test - incubation test

- distinguish between different types of scurfs

- visualize latent infection

Occurrence of skin blemish diseases in Norway

after 4 - 6 month of storage, 247 potato lots: Nærstad R, Dees MW, Le VH, Holgado R, Hermansen A

• Silver scurf (Helminthosporium solani) 11-13% (100%)

• Black dot (Colletotrichum coccodes) (80%)

• Common scab (Streptomyces spp.) 6-7% (50-70%)

• Powdery scab (Spongospora subterranean) 0.7-2% (70%)

• Skin spot (Polyscytalum pustulans) 0.2-1.7% (80%)

• Black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani) 0.8% (80%)

Root lesion nematodes

Paratylenchchus spp. in

60% of scabby lesions

Decision making in potato skin blemish

diseases control using real-time diagnostic

methods; Norwegian results from 2009 and

2010

R. Nærstad, A. Hermansen, V.H. Le,

G. Lund, M. Skogen, M.B. Brurberg

Sampling

• 40 locations each year in 2009 and 2010 + questionaries

• From each location:

– Samples of soil and seed tubers at planting

– Samples of soil in August

– Samples of progeny tubers at harvest

• Assessed for the presence of pathogens by real-time PCR

• Tubers were also assed for the presence of pathogens by plug tests

• Pathogens:

• Black dot (Colletotrichum coccodes)

• Skin spot (Polyscytalum pustulans)

• Common scab (Streptomyces spp.)

• Silver scurf (Helminthosporium solani)

• Powdery scab (Spongospora subterranean)

• Black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani)

Real-time PCR protocols

• SCRI protocols:

• Common scab (Cullen and Lees, 2007)

• Powdery scab (van de Graaf et al., 2003)

• Silver scurf (Cullen et al., 2001)

• Black scurf (Lees et al., 2002)

• Black dot (Cullen et al. 2002)

• Fungal pathogens based on ITS regions

• Streptomyces based on nec gene

18S gen 5.8S gen 26S gen

ITS Ribosomale RNA gener:

DNA-analysis

• Soil samples (SCRI protocol)

• Tuber samples

– Peel homogenized in Homex (SCRI protocol)

– Extraction robot (Molgene)

Conclusion from quantitative PCR

diagnostics of soil and tubers

• Skin spot, powdery scab and black dot:

disease increased with inoculums on the seed

tubers.

• For black dot and powdery scab it also

increased with soil inoculums

• Common scab, silver surf and black scurf:

other factors than inoculums level were more

important for disease incidence in the progeny

tubers

Harvest, curing and storage strategies

3 trials

• 0, 11 and 22 days from haulm killing to

harvest

• 4 harvest dates

• Curing: 70% RH and 90% RH

• Storage: Directly to 4oC and slowly to 4oC

Maxim

• Both Maxim (fludioxonil) and Rizolex

(tolclofosmethyl) reduces black scurf in the progeny

• Maxim reduces silver scurf in the progeny

Amistar Dry curing

• All treatments reduced the

amount of R. solani sclerotia

and hypha on the progeny

tubers

• Amistar and Emesto also

reduced the frequency of

silver scurf latent infections

(plug test)

• In 2008 and 2010 there were

attack of black dot at one

location and in these trials

there were less black dot in

the Amistar treatment.

Fusarium dry rot

• Important disease of potato affecting tubers in

storage

• Caused by several fungal species in the genus

Fusarium

• Fusarium dry rot of seed tubers can reduce crop

establishment by killing developing potato sprouts

• Crop losses can be up to 25%

Symptoms

• Originate in wounds created by mechanical damages or

desprouting during handling

• Surface lesions appears as dark depressions and wrinkled

areas of skin

• Concentric rings can be observed in case of heavy infection

• Fusarium dry rot can be recognized based on white, pink or

orange colored mycelium proliferation on the tuber surface

Fusarium dry rot in Norway

P.H. Jensen, M.B. Brurberg & A. Hermansen • Main goal: Find out which

Fusarium spp. currently causes

dry rot problems in Norway

• How: Potato samples collected

from different regions in Norway

over 3 seasons (2010-2013)

– artificial wounding +

incubation

– isolation

Photo: P. H. Jensen

Results from the growing season 2010 -2011

5 % of the tubers developed rots

Fusarium

Boeremia (Phoma)

Penicillium

Mucor

Cylindrocarbon

49 % of rots were caused by Fusarium

–F. coeruleum (64%)

–F. avenaceum (31%)

–F. culmorum (4%)

–F. cerealis (1%)

–F. sambucinum (1%)
