Minimum disease incidence (17.25) and tuber yield (26.11 t/ha) was noticed in Tuber spray treatment with Pencycuron 22.9% (Moncern) @ 0.50 before planting alone followed by Tuber dip treatment with 3% boric acid or 10 min. before planting. These treatments can provide an effective management of potato tuber diseases
