Rhizoctinia disease of potatoes.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural processes.
Examples
- The little potato, a tuber that has not reached full maturity, is more susceptible to Rhizoctonia disease due to its thinner skin.
- Rhizoctonia disease can cause the little potato to become misshapen and develop sunken lesions, reducing its quality and market value.
- In fields where Rhizoctonia disease is present, farmers often harvest the little potatoes early to prevent further damage and reduce yield loss.
- The little potato's high moisture content makes it more vulnerable to Rhizoctonia disease, which thrives in humid environments.
- Researchers are studying the effects of Rhizoctonia disease on little potatoes to develop more effective management strategies and reduce the economic impact on potato growers.
