Thermal control of some post-harvest rot pathogens of Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Plant Science Department, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria (1)
Botany And Microbiology Department, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria (2)
Thermal control effect on the incidence of some post-harvest rot pathogens of Solanum tuberosum (potato) was investigated in this study. Three cultivars of potato tuber whose local names are, Patiska, Mai Bawondoya and Nicola were used for the study. Five pathogenic fungi viz: Botryodiplodia theobromae, Fusarium redolens, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium sp. and Rhizopus oryzae associated with post harvest storage rot of root-tubers, were isolated from diseased potatoes.
