Weather parameters play an important role in the spread of potato late blight of caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary has historically been serious disease of potatoes through worldwide, including India. Due to spatial variation in prevailing weather conditions, its severity varies from region to region. Disease development process and the weather parameters are well understood and have been utilized for disease developing forecasting models and decision support system. Therefore, an experiment was conducted for two consecutive cropping seasons (2017 & 2018) to develop a forecasting model against late blight of potato using stepwise regression analysis for Northern Himalayas in India. Maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and wind speed appeared to be most significant factors in the potato late blight disease development. The meteorological conditions conducive for the development of potato late blight disease were characterized. Maximum and minimum temperatures in the range of 15.0 – 28.0°C and 2.0 – 12.0°C were found favorable for potato blight disease. Similarly, relative humidity, rainfall and wind speed in the range of 85 - 95 per cent, 15.5 - 20.75 mm and 1.0 - 5.5 Km h-1, respectively, were conducive for potato late blight disease which are helpful in disease development.

An experiment has been conducted to observed the disease severity of late blight of potato in the different weather parameters viz., air temperature, soil temperature, dew points, percent relative humidity and period of sunshine. The experiment was conducted in the Net-house, Department of Plant Pathology, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during July 2016 to November 2017. Weather data were collected on daily basis from BAU weather station during the experimental period. A significant role of weather parameters was detected in disease development and disease progress. Temperature was strongly linked with the late blight infection in potato. From 15 December, 2016 to 12 January, 2017 air temperature was ranged from 21.00-23.50°C and soil temperature was ranged from 19.00-22.00°C, and this range late blight incidence was not detected in the potato plant. From 13-14 January air and soil temperature suddenly decreased 2°C and from next day again increased the temperature as well as starting late blight disease symptoms. It was observed that dew point and percent relative humidity have a big role on late blight disease severity of potato. In 13-14 January, 2017 dew point decreased from 14°C to 8°C and Percent RH decreased from 80% to 51%. From 14 January, 2017, disease symptoms were observed in potato leaves and rapidly increased. Thus, late blight of potato disease may respond to the variation of temperature, dew point and relative humidity. Progressive Agriculture 31 (2): 74-80, 2020

‘Nova’ and 'Beefsteak,' cultivars of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), were grown in chambers under light intensities of 240 or 120 μE∙m−2∙s−1. Thirty-five days after seeding, half of the tomato plants were harvested for sterol analysis and the others were inoculated with a tomato race O isolate of Phytophthora infestons (Mont.) de By. Late blight symptoms were assessed 10 days after inoculation from the number of leaves showing disease (disease incidence) and the amount of blighted area of each leaf (percent colonization). Disease incidence and percent colonization were not influenced by light intensity with 'Nova' plants, but 'Beefsteak' plants grown under low light were significantly [Formula: see text] more diseased than those exposed to the higher light intensity. Changes in free sterol, steryl ester, and total sterol concentrations between plants grown under different light intensities were similar for both cultivars. A significant decrease in the steryl glycoside concentration of low light grown 'Beefsteak' plants correlated with increased disease incidence. The possible role of steryl glycosides and their derivatives in late blight disease development is discussed.
