Abstract
Soil borne diseases are plant diseases caused by pathogens persisting within the soil matrix and hampering the growth of the plant by affecting its parts and eventually resulting in ultimate death. Soil borne pathogen groups include fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes that affect belowground tissues. However, they’re also responsible for causing aboveground diseases. Radical knowledge of soil-borne diseases is incredibly imperative so as to diagnose and manage the soil-borne diseases in tubers. The control of soil-borne diseases in tubers is often physical, chemical, as well as biological.
