Notes

Potato marginal flavescence was first observed in 1971 in an experimental farm in Himachal Pradesh, India and was thought to be associated with a phytoplasma belonging to the aster yellows group. As diseased potato plants have been systematically destroyed, the disease is no longer observed (2024-07).
