Abstract
Summary In 1982 – 88, potatoes were grown in 2‐, 4‐ and 6‐course rotations with spring barley on a field infested with Globodera rostochiensis. Severity of stem canker and black scurf increased with increasing frequency of previous potato crops, and seed tuber treatment with tolclofos‐methyl became less effective in controlling diseases. This suggested that previous crops had increased the amounts of soil‐borne inoculum of Rhizoctonia solani. Oxamyl soil treatment increased stem canker in one year and decreased black scurf in four years. Seed tuber treatment with imazalil or prochloraz decreased stem base infection by Polyscytalum pustulans and skin spot and silver scurf on tubers. Black dot was prevalent on tubers in all years and was not affected by seed tuber treatment or previous cropping. Oxamyl increased black dot and common scab in five years and decreased % tuber dry matter in six years. Cysts of G. rostochiensis were found attached to Désirée but not to Maris Piper tubers in August. At harvest tubers of both cultivars were affected by superficial pitting and its severity was related to soil populations of G. rostochiensis at planting. This damage was controlled by oxamyl. It is suggested that the pitting developed from holes made in the tuber skin at larval invasion. In 1989, Désirée seed tubers and healthy mini tubers were planted in all plots and severity of stem canker and black scurf increased with increasing proximity of previous potato crops and with the number of previous crops. Black dot on stems and tubers was not affected by previous cropping but was much less severe in a plot that had not grown potatoes during the seven years of the experiment. The severity of common scab generally decreased as the number of preceding potato crops increased.
