Understanding bacterial ring rot in potatoes

Description

Over the past two decades, Alberta has developed an excellent reputation for producing high quality, healthy seed potato stocks. Annual losses from bacterial ring rot (BRR) in our commercial potatoes are minimal or non-existent. All seed potatoes in Canada undergo rigorous testing for this highly infectious disease, as required under federal seed regulations. If the disease is found in seed potatoes, current regulations state that all seed lots on that seed farm or farm unit will be decertified in that year.
