Abstract:

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a very important food crop in world food production system, and late blight (Phytophthora infestans) is one of the most threatening fungal disease in potato production. To know well about the prevention and control measures of potato late blight, and to achieve high yield, we firstly introduced potato late blight disease pathogen as well as its pathogenesis briefly, and then summarized the major prevention measures of potato late blight, including chemical control measures, biological control measures, ecological control measures, etc. On this basis, we analyzed the application of various prevention and control measures in the future, according to the advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this study is to review the current situation of the prevention and control of the potato late blight, and provide useful information for developing new measures.

Key words: potato, late blight, chemical fungicides, biological control, mineral element
