Summary

Low temperature (0-5 deg C) completely inhibited the spore germination and rot development by the pathogen. A low temperature-captan or benlate combination proved very effective against rot. Storage of potatoes in well drained soil pits, particularly in open sites, significantly reduced natural infection of the tubers by the fungus.
