Blackleg and Bacterial Soft Rot of Potato
PPFS-VG-18: Blackleg and Bacterial Soft Rot of Potato
Authored by: Kenny Seebold
Abstract
Blackleg and soft rot are bacterial diseases that cause heavy losses in Kentucky potato patches in some years. These diseases may result in missing hills when seed pieces are destroyed or the sprouts decay before they emerge from the ground. Serious rotting of tubers in potato hills and in storage can also occur.
