| A recent press release of Wageningen University mentioned important findings on the enigmatic potato bacterial disease. In the Netherlands blackleg and bacterial wet rot in seed potatoes and seed flower bulbs only are responsible for several tens of millions Euros of damage. Chemical control is not available nor do resistant varieties exist. Control takes place through sampling and assessing and certification of potato and bulbs and through the introduction of hygienic crop management practices that reduce the introduction and spread of the causal agent. |
