Abstract
A survey was carried out in the potato- (Solarium tuberosum L.) growing
regions of Zimbabwe in April 2009 to assess the prevalence of bacterial
soft rot. A total of 125 tubers with soft rot symptoms were collected.
The disease caused severe economic losses ranging from 20 to 60% on
tubers in the field and in storage.
