Abstract
Potate tubers with slver scurf lesions were collected from the cold storage at Pyungchang, Kangwon province in Korea. The causal agent of the silver scurf was identified as Helminthosporium solani by mycological characteristics of conidia and conidiophores. Pathogenicity of the fungus was confirmed by artificial inoculation on the potato tuber. This is the first report of potato silver scarf by Helminthosporium solani in Korea.
