Abstract
The characteristics of Tasmanian potato production, including its
geographic isolation, seed certification scheme, and long rotations have helped to
minimize the incidence of important potato viruses. However, many soil-borne
pathogens have steadily built-up in Tasmanian potato soils. The main influence on
pathogen concentrations, especially for the powdery scab pathogen, seems to be the
presence of the host crop in the rotation. A useful predictive relationship between pathogen DNA and powdery scab severity has emerged from work to date but needs testing across a range of potato cultivars.
