Abstract: Examination of 144 samples of seed potatoes affected with dry rot, comprising 1218 tubers, showed the presence of parasitic Fusaria in 91% of the lesions. The parasitic Fusaria consisted of 93% Fusarium caeruleum , 6% F. avenaceum and less than 1% each of F. arthrosporioides and F. tricinctum. F. tricinctum has not previously been recorded on potato in this country. A method is described whereby the presence of F. caeruleum can readily be detected in tubers affected with dry rot.
