Abstract

Within the past several years, powdery mildew disease has become an increasingly important problem to potato growers in the northern part of Utah. In some fields, reduction in yield due to powdery mildew has been estimated to be as high as 30 percent (Treshow and Cannon, 1961). The disease has been reported from many parts of the world. Other than in Utah, however, the only place where it has been considered to be of economic importance is Palestine. In that country, reduction in yield has been estimated to be as high as 20 percent (Palti and Moeller, 1946).
