Abstract
Abstract: Two components of integrated control of potato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans -host resistance and optimized fungicide use were evaluated in on-station and on-farm trials between 2005 and 2006. The treatments consisting of two late blight tolerant varieties and eight fungicide treatment combinations based on systemic and protectant fungicides and an unsprayed control were evaluated during the long rains 2005. On the basis of foliar late blight control and yield in on-station trials, two groups of farmers selected the best three out of eight fungicides treatments that complemented host resistance and evaluated them on-farm trials at two locations during the short rains 2005 and long rains 2006 under high late blight disease pressure. All farmers who participated in the trials were in agreement that host resistance complemented with one protectant fungicide spray at full crop emergence followed by a systemic fungicide spray upon appearance of first foliar late blight symptoms offered the best protection against late blight resulting in high economic returns.
