Abstract

The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of the most consumed crops in the world and it is of major importance for both developed and developing countries. Unfortunately, the crop is affected by a devastating disease called late blight that can quickly kill entire potato fields. This results in enormous economic and environmental problems. Regrettably, problems with late blight seem to increase in recent decades. In this bachelor thesis detailed information will be presented about late blight and how to control it. How is knowledge about the interactions between pathogen and potato plant used to control late blight disease? Are there any recommendations for a better control of late blight?
