Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary (Peronosporales: Pythiaceae): A REVIEW OF LIFE HISTORY......

Solanum tuberosum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae) is one of the world's most frequently grown food crops, producing roughly twice as many calories per hectare as rice and wheat. It is regarded as the most significant food crop, with high nutritional value. There are several diseases that impact potato crops, but late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary is the most common. This disease has the potential to utterly devastate a potato crop in a short period of time. As a result, it was necessary to review the various aspects of P. infestans (Mont.) de Bary, including its life history, evolutionary status, symptomology, disease cycle, means of dispersal, extent of losses, and disease management using conventional/commercial fungicides and plant extracts/non-conventional methods.
