Abstract
Potato fields were evaluated for inci
dence and severity of early dying disease complex in the growing seasons of 2021 and 2022. Disease
sure varied among the fields in both years. Fields
taining higher inoculum levels of Verticillium dahliae in the fall soil samples as determined by qPCR of soil samples typically showed more potato early dying (PED) symptom development in the subsequent
ing season. The incidence of PED was higher in 2022 than in 2021. Results demonstrated the potential of qPCR evaluation of representative soil samples as an aid for risk prediction activities in potato production systems dealing with PED.
