EFFECT OF SEEDING FUNGICIDES ON POTATO YIELD

Phytophthora, alternaria, rhizactonia and fusarium are among the diseases that cause great economic damage to potato farms. If on average 30% of the crop is lost due to these diseases, the amount of waste increases by 5-20% due to rotting in the tubers during storage. The infection in the tubers causes the seedlings to dry up when planted in the soil, and the yield decreases. Thus, the idea of protection from harmful microorganisms, especially from disease-causing fungi, which negatively affect the quantity and quality of the potato crop, is an urgent issue.
