Abstract
The objective of this project was to determine if addition of manures to potato growing fields effects the severity of soilborne diseases. Two major soilborne diseases on potatoes in Ontario are Verticillium wilt caused by the fungus Verticillium dahliae and potato scab caused by Streptomyces bacteria. We used these two diseases as model systems to study the effects of manures on soilborne pathogens.
