Abstract

The production process of potato cultivation presents a set of limiting factors that have a negative impact on obtaining good harvests and even more so on the production of seed of good phytosanitary quality. In high areas, some insect pests and diseases, such as bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum), play an important role. This bacteria affects more than 30 families of plants, both cultivated and wild. Among the most susceptible crops is the potato, also the tomato and the nightshade family in general.
