| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT Bacterial soft rot disease is one of the most destructive diseases of vegetables worldwide causing huge economic losses in the field, in transit and in storage or during marketing. Potato is one of the most globally important crops its yield is badly affected by soft rot disease. It is primarily caused by Pectobacteriaceae family and Pectobacterium carotovorum is one of the most devastating plant pathogens that causes soft rot disease. Soft rot disease has a wide range of hosts of vegetable crops and ornamental plant. The effected tissue of the host becomes soft and slimy without much discoloration and bad smell. Several strategies have been developed to control potato soft rot. The use of natural plant products such as plant extracts and green synthesized silver nanoparticles has emerged as being promising alternative and safe way than the synthetic chemicals to control soft rot disease. This review discusses potato soft rot disease and the controlling measures through presenting an overview of the results of studies done on this disease. | ||
