Abstract
SUMMARY Statistically significant effects of nitrogen and phosphorus on the incidence of potato tuber blight were detected. Quantitative data for three sites where the effect was significant were compared with results from combined analyses of 15 sites. Nitrogen increased the proportion of blighted tubers. Phosphorus had the opposite effect, the biggest differences occurring on sites with higher than average levels of infection.
