Strange Potato Disease/Virus? With Pictures!
« on: October 04, 2009, 20:14 »
Hi

I am writing this on behalf of my allotment neighbour as he has no internet connection.

Today he showed me some of his MANNA potatoes, they seem to have an almost marble or stone appearance to them, they look like baked potatoes do when they are cooked!

My neighbour has over 30 years experience of growing and he has never seen potatoes come out like this,

Anyone got any ideas what it might be??

Cheers

Could be a very bad case of common scab.

Anything like the bad one on this link?

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
