Comments
According to Butrymowicz & Sahajdak (2009): in the 1950s, potato wart disease outbreaks were numerous in Poland (65 000 outbreaks recorded) but then only potato varieties resistant to pathotype 1 (D1) were allowed. No new foci caused by this pathotype have been detected in Poland since the early 1960s. In 1961 and 1965, 2 other pathotypes were discovered (2(Ch1) and 3(M1)) in the montaneous parts of Southern Poland. Recent surveys have showed that S. endobioticum is present in: 5 powiats (virulent pathotypes) and in 1 powiat ('old focus' of pathotype 1(D1)).
