Basic topics of potato protection mainly against colorado beetle, late blight and nematodes are presented. Protective measures against colorado beetle are used for the majority of potato crops, however only 30% is protected against late blight. The reasons for the low rate of protection against late blight are small size of potato plantations and trouble with correct accomplishment of the protective procedure. The single method of protection against nematodes used in practice is cultivation of resistant cultivars. The number and popularity of these cultivars has visibly increased.
