The efficacy of solar heat in the control of bacterial soft rot of potato tubers was investigated in Maiduguri, semi-arid region of Northeastern Nigeria. Artificially contaminated tubers were exposed to solar heat for duration of 0, 30, 60,120 and 180 minutes. The results showed that exposures for 120 and 180 minutes gave the highest control of the disease, although during the hot dry season (mean temperature at exposure was 54.6°C) exposure even for 30 minutes gave satisfactory control of the disease. Solar heat can therefore be used to control of bacterial soft rot of potato tubers.

PL

Przedmiotem pracy było badanie skuteczności nasłoneczniania bulw ziemniaka w zwalczaniu ich mokrej zgnilizny. Studia przeprowadzono w Maiduguri, leżącym w półsuchym regionie północno-wschodniej Nigerii. Sztucznie zakażone bulwy poddawano nasłonecznianiu przez okres 0, 30,120 i 180 minut. Wyniki dowodzą, że 120 i 180 minutowa ekspozycja powodowała największe ograniczenie choroby, chociaż podczas pory suchej i gorącej (średnia temperatura podczas ekspozycji wynosiła 54.6°C) nawet 30 minutowa ekspozycja dawała satysfakcjonujące wyniki. Nasłonecznianie więc może być stosowane w zwalczaniu bakteryjnej mokrej zgnilizny bulw ziemniaka.
