The aim of this article is to assess the competitiveness of domestic and foreign potato cultivars grown in the country and to analyze the use of certified seed potatoes by the producers. The agronomic and utility value indicators were adopted as the measure of competitiveness of varieties. It has been shown that table cultivars of polish breeding in relation to foreign cultivars have generally higher agrotechnical value and higher yields but at the same time in many characteristics they have lower utility value (for example the look of tubers). The rate of use of certified seed potatoes depends on the degree of marketability of particular potato production sectors. It ranges from just 6.4% in multidirectional production to 25% in table and starch potato production, up to 40% in the production of early table potatoes and for food processing.

Both Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber, 1923) Behrens, 1975 and Globodera pallida (Stone, 1973) are considered the most economically important nematode pest. Annual regional survey conduct in Poland have revealed high infestation of pathotype Ro1 to the northwest of the country and presence of new pathotype Ro5 of G. rostochiensis. In 2009-2013 fifty eight soil samples were tested. parasitic root organisms cause significant losses in quantity and quality of potato crops. In many European countries PCN have become a major problem in potato production mainly in starch potato cultivars. The pathotype Ro1 was detected mostly in central and northern Poland and pathotype Ro5 in four separated provinces: malopolskie, lubuskie, lubelskie and pomorskie. The abundance of cysts in location where the new pathotype was detected suggests that is a thread of further spread of pathotype Ro5 of G. rostochiensis in the country. Consequently, producers and farmers need to grow resistant potato cultivars to keep nematode population below damaging level. These results indicate the urgent need to prevent the spread of PCN to non-infested areas. This report focused on identification of nematode pathotypes in soil samples from infested polish fields and presentation of G. rostochiensis distribution on territory of Poland.

Seed potatoes of the Sebago cultivar were produced in Queensland from a single, pathogentested tuber by glasshouse and field multiplication. The seed potatoes, up to seven generations after release from the glasshouse, were compared in four, yearly, yield experiments with imported certified seed potatoes and in three experiments with locally saved seed. The crops produced from seed grown in Queensland yielded as well as, or better than, crops produced from both imported and locally saved seed. No serious disease problems arose in the production of the seed at various sites. Yields were satisfactory and commercial seed potato production in Queensland seems feasible. Two crops a year can be produced providing fresh seed for year round potato production.

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) significantly impact potato production worldwide and in Brazil they are considered one of the most important group of nematodes affecting potatoes. The objectives of this study were to survey Meloidogyne spp. associated with potatoes in Brazil, determine their genetic diversity and assess the aggressiveness of M. javanica on two susceptible potato cultivars. Fifty-seven root-knot nematode populations were identified using esterase phenotyping, including Meloidogyne javanica, M. incognita, M. arenaria and M. ethiopica. Overall, root-knot nematodes were present in ca 43% of sampled sites, in which M. javanica was the most prevalent species, and the phenotypes Est J3, J2a and J2 occurred in 91.2, 6.7 and 2.1% of the positive samples, respectively. Other species, such as M. incognita, M. arenaria and M. ethiopica, were found less frequently and occurred at rates of 6.4, 4.3 and 2.1% of the samples, respectively. Sometimes, M. javanica was found in mixtures with other root-knot nematodes in ca 10.6% of sites containing Meloidogyne. After confirming the identification of 17 isolates of M. javanica and one isolate each of M. incognita, M. arenaria and M. ethiopica by SCAR markers, the populations were used to infer their genetic diversity using RAPD markers. Results revealed low intraspecifc genetic diversity among isolates (13.9%) for M. javanica. Similarly, M. javanica sub-populations (J2a) clustered together (81% of bootstrap), indicating subtle variation from typical J3 populations. The aggressiveness of four populations of M. javanica from different Brazilian states on two susceptible potato cultivars was tested under glasshouse conditions. Results indicated differences in aggressiveness among these populations and showed that potato disease was proportional to nematode reproduction factor.

Zebra Chip disease is a serious threat to potato production. The pathogen, the phloem-limited bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum,’ is vectored by the potato and tomato psyllid Bactericerca cockerelli to potato and tomato. Patterns of pathogen translocation through phloem in potato and tomato plants were examined to determine whether rate or direction of translocation vary by host species or potato cultivars. Two insects were given a 7-day inoculation access period on a single leaf. Weekly, leaves from upper-, middle-, and lower-tier branches were tested for the presence of ‘Ca. L. solanacearum’ by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In tomato and potato, ‘Ca. L. solanacearum’ was detected 2 to 3 weeks after infestation, most frequently in upper- and middle-tier leaves. In potato, the pathogen was detected in leaves on a second, noninfested stem when the stems remained joined via the tuber. Although rates of pathogen movement were similar among potato cultivars, symptoms developed earlier in more susceptible cultivars. Quantitative PCR indicated that bacterial titers were frequently low in tomato and potato samples (<20 genome units per nanogram of DNA). Results establish that, for improved detection, samples should include newly developing leaves and consider that, under low insect pressure, the pathogen may be undetectable by PCR until 3 weeks after infestation.

Potato cyst nematodes (PCN), the golden cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis (Woll.) Bahrens, and the pale potato cyst nematode G. pallida (Stone) stand out by their remarkable and efficient parasitic adaptations causing high economic losses in potato production worldwide. They are A2 quarantine pests in EPPO countries as well as in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Up to now, only G. rostochiensis was reported from Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2011 (1). A systematic survey on the presence of PCN on entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina started in 2011. During the PCN survey, each year 120 soil samples of 1.5 liters were collected in the Republic of Srpska, one of the two entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The samples were collected by soil auger 10 cm in length with a diameter of 1.5 cm consisting of 100 cores. Entire samples were processed by Seinhorst elutriator (4). In autumn of 2012, PCN viable cysts were found in two soil samples originating from one field. From one sample, 12 cysts were extracted, and 2 from another sample. The morphology of cysts and second stage juveniles and molecular analysis established the identity of this species as pale cyst nematode G. pallida (3). In addition, the sequencing of the ribosomal DNA region revealed unequivocal similarity to G. pallida (GenBank Accession No. HF968449), while PCR-RFLP analysis (2) showed European type of G. pallida. The infested field is located in Rogatica, 70 km east of Sarajevo, which is one of the main seed and potato production areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The field history revealed that farm-propagated, farm-saved seed potatoes could spread the nematodes to other fields as well. Therefore, 26 additional samples were taken from the fields that belong to the infested field owner and the surrounding fields, but no cysts were found in additional samples. To determine infestation focus and its size, the infested field (1.1 ha) was divided into 46 plots (25 × 10 m) and resampled by taking samples of 60 cores per plot. The detailed sampling of the field revealed a high infestation of 1 cyst per gram of soil in the infestation focus. The high infestation level and the propagation of farm-own seed potatoes suggest that the introduction of G. pallida might have occurred several years ago, probably with imported seed potatoes. The infested field was subjected to the phytosanitary measure of banning potato production for a period of 6 years with the possibility of its prolongation, if cysts with live content are found afterward. It is expected that the nematode is present in other fields due to the farmer's practices of propagating farm-saved seed potatoes and deficient field machinery hygiene. Therefore, the whole area will be intensively monitored for the presence of PCN in the future. An adequate pest management plan will be prepared after PCN pathotype identification. To our knowledge, only one field was found infested with G. pallida during the 3-year PCN survey in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Strict phytosanitary measures for preventing further PCN introductions and spreading should be intensified. References: (1) I. Ostojić et al. Plant Dis. 95:883, 2011. (2) S. Širca et al. Phytopathol.

The paper contains a comparative analysis of technologies used for potato production on plantations covering areas of various sizes in the context of their impact on the natural environment. The research was conducted for potato plantations in the south of Poland. For its purposes, the “cradle-to-gate” approach was adopted. The type of technological practices applied were taken into account, as well as machines used, duration of their operation, number of seed potatoes, fertilisers, pesticides, used fuel and water. The final results were referred to the area of cultivation (1 ha). In order to determine the environmental correlations of all the inputs and outputs included in the LCA research and estimate their impact on the environment, the SimaPro application was used, ver. 8.1.0.60. It was, for instance, found that the cultivation of potatoes on smaller plantations affects the natural environment more adversely.

Quantitative Contribution

SummaryField experiments, conducted on alluvial soil of Jalandhar during 1984–5 and 1985–6 with four rates of application each of N, P and K and four potato cultivars, Badshah, Bahar, Lalima and Jyoti, revealed significant responses to N and K. Badshah, Bahar and Lalima responded to 240 kg N/ha while Jyoti responded to 160 kg N/ha. Badshah did not respond to K. Bahar responded to 150 K/ha whereas both Jyoti and Lalima responded to 50 kg K/ha. Varietal responses to N were related to yield and crop duration while the responses to K were related to K composition of tubers. N showed inconsistent effect on percentage dry matter of tubers, but K decreased it. N increased concentration of N and P but decreased that of K.
