Abstract

Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is a devastating disease of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). To identify potential sources of resistance to the disease, 32 clones received from the National Potato Research Program (NPRP) were evaluated under natural conditions at the National Maize Research Program Rampur, Chitwan in 2018 and 2019. Potato cultivars Desire, Kufri Jyoti, and Farmers local were used as moderately resistant, susceptible, and highly susceptible checks, respectively. The experiments were laid out in α-lattice design with two replications. Each experimental plot of 3.6 m2 was seeded as two 3m long rows with 0.6 and 0.25 m row and plant spacing, respectively. Agronomic practices were followed as recommended by NPRP. The disease severity was measured based on a percentage of leaf area infected using disease scale of (1 to 9) at three times in seven days intervals. Disease severity values were converted into the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC). During harvest, the total yield and its components were recorded. Potato clones differed significantly (P ≤ 0.01) for disease severity, yield, and yield components. The results revealed high genetic variability, heritability, and genetic gain for disease parameters, tuber yield, and its components. Six clones (CIP311622.9, PRP277072.122, PRP146971.135, PRP147072.27, CIP311350.27, and PRP146971.117 had lower area under disease progress curve AUDPC) values (274.25 to 421.03), showed higher resistant in both years and yielded more tuber yield (~20 t/ha) than other clones. These clones could be used to develop late blight resistant, high yielding potato varieties

Abstract

Developing host resistance is an economic and long-term approach to disease management; however, resistance reactions that differ depending on the genotypes. Potato late blight is the devastating disease caused due to Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary.  In order to identify late blight resistance in potato genotypes, seven local potato cultivars (Bardiya Rato Local, Bardiya Seto Local, Cardinal, Deukhuri Rato Local, Deukhuri Seto Local, Kailali Local and Khumal Ujjowal) were evaluated in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications during October 2018 to January 2019 on naturally infested soils in Deukhuri, Dang, Nepal. Results showed that significantly the highest disease incidence (99.17%), and the highest disease severity (88%) were found on Cardinal followed by Deukhuri Rato Local (64%), and Deukhuri Seto Local (60%). Potato cultivar namely Khumal Ujjowal was moderately resistant, whereas Deukhuri Rato local and Deukhuri Seto Local were susceptible to late blight disease. Significantly the highest yield (12.67 t ha-1) was produced by Khumal Ujjowal followed by Bardiya Rato Local (10.78 t ha-1) and Bardiya Seto Local (9.40 t ha-1). The disease incidence and Area under disease progressive curve (AUDPC) value was negatively co-related with the tuber yield. The potato cultivar Khumal Ujjowal followed by Bardiya Rato Local were found moderately resistant to late blight disease in Deukhuri conditions. This study suggests that potato cultivar Bardiya Rato Local can be grown for higher tuber production in Dang and similar topographic regions.DOI: 10.37637/ab.v3i1.464
