<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Sweet potato diseases&#039;&#039;&#039; are a variety of [[plant diseases]] that affect the [[sweet potato]] (Ipomoea batatas). These diseases can be caused by [[fungi]], [[bacteria]], [[viruses]], and [[nematodes]], and can result in significant crop loss. This article provides a comprehensive list of sweet potato diseases, their causes, symptoms, and potential treatments.<br /> <br /> == Fungal diseases ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Black rot]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Ceratocystis fimbriata) is a fungal disease that causes dark, sunken lesions on the sweet potato. The disease can be controlled by using disease-free planting material and rotating crops.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Fusarium wilt]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Fusarium oxysporum) is a soil-borne fungus that causes wilting and yellowing of the sweet potato plant. Control measures include crop rotation and the use of resistant varieties.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Southern blight]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Sclerotium rolfsii) is a fungal disease that causes wilting and rotting of the sweet potato plant. The disease can be controlled by deep plowing and crop rotation.<br /> <br /> == Bacterial diseases ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Soft rot]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Erwinia carotovora) is a bacterial disease that causes soft, watery rot of the sweet potato. The disease can be controlled by using disease-free planting material and avoiding injury to the tubers.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Bacterial wilt]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Ralstonia solanacearum) is a bacterial disease that causes wilting and yellowing of the sweet potato plant. Control measures include crop rotation and the use of resistant varieties.<br /> <br /> == Viral diseases ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Sweet potato feathery mottle virus]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (SPFMV) is a viral disease that causes mottling and distortion of the sweet potato leaves. The disease can be controlled by using virus-free planting material and controlling insect vectors.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (SPCSV) is a viral disease that causes stunting and chlorosis of the sweet potato plant. Control measures include the use of virus-free planting material and controlling insect vectors.<br /> <br /> == Nematode diseases ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Root-knot nematode]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Meloidogyne spp.) is a nematode disease that causes galling and distortion of the sweet potato roots. The disease can be controlled by using nematode-free planting material and rotating crops.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Reniform nematode]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Rotylenchulus reniformis) is a nematode disease that causes stunting and yellowing of the sweet potato plant. Control measures include crop rotation and the use of nematicides.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[List of potato diseases]]<br /> * [[Plant pathology]]<br /> <br /> {{incomplete food list}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Sweet potatoes]]<br /> [[Category:Plant diseases]]<br /> [[Category:Lists of diseases]]</div>
