Abstract :

R. solanacearum causes potato wilt disease, which damages or plugs the xylem and affects water transport, causing wilt in solanaceous and other host plants. Because of its high nutritional content and efficient use of water, potatoes are regarded as an important crop for food security. Environmental factors that affect disease development include temperature, salinity, and nutrition; as a result, yield loss can surpass 90%. The spread of illness and pathogens can be inhibited by crop rotation, insect control, processed compost, chemicals like urea and NPK fertilizer, and biocontrol agents like cruciferous plants and lemon essential oils. Key words: Identification, Disease, Potato, Management, control.
