Potatoes Face Widespread Wart Disease Threat
The potato wart disease endangers growers with potential multi million dollar losses if not eradicated. Spread occurs via infected soil or tubers and can move through soil drainage, footwear, or planting seed potatoes. Government agronomists urge prompt reporting to authorities to halt spread.
Potato Wart Threat Prompts Prevention Campaign
A 1918 warning outlines potato wart disease threatening nearly half a billion dollars in U S industry. It notes recognition in tuber eyes, slow spread, and the futility of cures, urging burning warts, boiling diseased tubers, crop rotation, eight years before replanting, and prompt reporting to authorities.
