What is another word for potato disease?
Pronunciation: [pətˈe͡ɪtə͡ʊ dɪzˈiːz] (IPA) 
Potatoes are a beloved food staple around the world, but they are susceptible to several diseases that can affect their growth and yield. Synonyms for the term "potato disease" include spud blight, potato scab, common scab, black scab, blackleg, and purple top. Spud blight causes dark patches on the potato skin and can rot the interior of the tubers. Potato scab results in raised, corky growths on the potato skin, while common scab causes rough, scaly patches. Black scab results in deep, blackened lesions on the potato, and blackleg infects the entire plant, causing it to wilt and die. Purple top affects the leaves of the plant, turning them purple and causing stunted growth. Proper crop management and disease prevention measures can help prevent these issues and ensure healthy potato crops.
