Potato late blight network for europe

Obiettivo

Late blight (P.infestans) the most serious potato disease, costs more than l0, 000 million Euro/year in crop losses and control costs worldwide. Over 30-fungicide applications/year are made in some countries whilst host resistance is deployed in others. New evidence of the presence of both Al and A2 mating types of Pin in Europe poses the risk of increased diversity, earlier disease epidemics and the rapid breakdown of host resistance. To address these issues, this project incorporates the majority of late-blight research programmes from across Europe. Existing expertise will be exchanged, with the aim of standardising methods and creating universal databases of new and existing information on
a) characterisation of P.infestans populations
b) the characterisation of foliage and tuber resistance of potato germplasm. This knowledge will be consolidated to plan future strategies for the sustainable control of disease.
