Field‐grown potatoes showing scab infections were sampled in two successive years and
analysed for prevailing Streptomyces strains. In 2008 and 2009, 293 Streptomyces isolates …

Common scab is a significant disease of potato, and affects root and tuber crops worldwide.
Streptomycetes, a diverse group of soil-inhabiting gram-positive bacteria, cause common …

Common scab of potatoes is a disease, which is difficult to manage due to complex
interactions of the pathogenic bacteria (Streptomyces spp.) with soil, microbial community …

Common scab is an important disease of potato caused by Streptomyces scabies and other
closely related species. In this study, the genetic diversity of Streptomyces spp. causing …

The value of ammonium sulphate (+ SO4) fertilizer as a method of controlling potato
common scab varies from field to field and from year to year. We examined the influence of …

Abstract During 2006 and 2007, 110 Streptomyces strains were isolated from potato tubers
with various symptoms including erumpent, deep-pitted and superficial scab lesions from …

Streptomyces scabiei is largely accepted as the causal organism of common scab on potato
in South Africa, and other Streptomyces species associated with common scab are not often …

The phylogenetic composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of three potato
cultivars grown at two distant field sites was analysed. Ribosomal gene fragments amplified …

Aims: To test interactions between pathogenic strains of Streptomyces turgidiscabies, S.
scabies and S. aureofaciens. To study biological control of S. turgidiscabies and S. scabies …

The influence of tuber-borne pathogenic Streptomyces on potato common scab incidence in
daughter tubers was examined under micro-plot conditions. Visually healthy tubers, surface …
