Radiation Processing of Seed Potatoes as a Method for Suppressing Various Forms of Rhizoctonia in New Crop Tubers

This study focuses on the impact of pre-planting irradiation of seed potatoes on the phenophases of the root crop and proliferation of fungus Rhizoctonia solani on the new crop tubers. A two-year monitoring of seed potatoes after irradiation shows that treatment of tubers with 30–40 Gy decreases the...

Description
Summary:This study focuses on the impact of pre-planting irradiation of seed potatoes on the phenophases of the root crop and proliferation of fungus Rhizoctonia solani on the new crop tubers. A two-year monitoring of seed potatoes after irradiation shows that treatment of tubers with 30–40 Gy decreases the spread of fungal infection on the surface of the tubers. It was found that low-energy electrons used in the experiment are the most effective irradiation treatment since they penetrate in the upper layers of potato tubers affected by the fungus.
