Definitions:

1. Agricultural Concern NOUN
   • An issue or problem associated with the growth or storage of potatoes, resulting from fungal infections, and often referred to collectively as "potato mould."
2. General Fungal Disease NOUN
   • Any fungal condition that affects potato plants, causing decay, discoloration, and reduced yield. This includes diseases like early blight, black scurf, and others.
3. Late Blight Disease NOUN
   • A disease affecting potato plants and tubers, caused by the fungus-like oomycete Phytophthora infestans, characterized by dark, damp patches on the leaves and tubers.
4. Storage Condition NOUN
   • A deterioration state in stored potatoes, caused by various fungi, leading to spoilage and loss of the crop during storage.

Synonyms:

• late blight of potato
