    • Late blight is the most destructive of all potato disease and responsible for the Irish Famine in the middle of the 19 th century. It affects both potato foliage in the field and tuber in the storage which can absolutely destroy a crop, producing a 100% crop loss. The pathogen ( Phyhtophthora infestans ) have different mechanisms of survival and two infection phases in its life cycle. It requires two mating types, A1 and A2 to produce a sexual spore known as oospore. The spores are carried by… CONTINUE READING
