| Abstract: | Summary In artificial inoculations it was found thatFusarium oxysporum f.sp.tuberosi is able to penetrate through potato leaves. The fungus was isolated from the stem of infected plants from all inoculated
cultivars. Tubers were completely destroyed if they were inoculated before sprouting. Not any destruction was observed if
inoculation was made before young sprouts are longer than 1–3 cm; plants from these sprouts were infected. Lesioned tubers
were more sensitive than unlesioned ones, and tuber rot and sprout damage were increased significantly. |
