Control Methods for Stem Rot in Sweet Potato Cultivation
Sweet potato stem rot, also known as sweet potato wilt, fusarium wilt, stem blight, etc. [Pathogen scientific name] Fusarium bulbigenum Cke. et Mass. Var. botatas Wollenw. [Host crops] Sweet potato and other Convolvulaceae plants. [Disease diagnosis] Diseased seedlings show swollen, bluish roots, with the vascular bundles turning brown and the upper parts turning yellow and thin. When mature plants are affected, the diseased plants are stunted, with swelling at the stem base and a bluish halo on the surface. When the diseased part is cut open, the vascular bundles can be seen to have turned brown after infection, extending upward from the stem base for 20 to 30 cm. Apart from a few green leaves at the top, all other leaves of the diseased plant turn yellow, and the lower old leaves successively wither and drop off. In the later stage, the cortex of the diseased part cracks, appearing fibrous, and pink mold-like growth appears on the surface. When storage roots are affected, the root end becomes rotten, and a cross-section of the discolored vascular bundle area in the upper part of the diseased root shows dark brown ring-shaped spots. The pathogenic fungus is Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas. Macroconidia are sickle-shaped, with slightly pointed apical cells and slightly curved tips on the end cells, having 3 to 5 septa. Microconidia are single-celled, oval to elliptical. Chlamydospores are brown and spherical.</p><p>[Disease occurrence pattern] The pathogen overwinters as mycelium and chlamydospores in diseased storage roots or attached to diseased residues in the soil. The pathogen can also survive in the soil in a saprophytic state. The pathogen mostly invades through wounds and spreads along the vascular bundles. The cut end of transplanted seedlings is the most important invasion site, and wounds on roots and leaf scars can also allow invasion. The pathogen can also invade poorly growing seedlings. The disease can spread over long distances through diseased storage roots and diseased seedlings, and over short distances mainly through soil, flowing water, and farm tools. A soil temperature of 27 to 30°C and high soil moisture favor disease development. Frequent rainfall and large amounts of rain often cause severe outbreaks of the disease.</p><p>[Control measures] (1) Select disease-resistant varieties, such as Chaoshanbai, Nanjing 92, Jinshan 247, Taichengshu, Nanruishao, Jinqing No. 9, Xuzhou 18, etc. (2) Select disease-free seed storage roots and raise seedlings in disease-free soil. (3) Before planting, soak the sweet potato seedlings in 0.2% "401" antimicrobial agent for 10 minutes for disinfection. (4) Apply fully decomposed manure. Irrigate appropriately and drain field water promptly after rain. (5) In heavily infested plots, carry out crop rotation with grain crops for more than 3 years; rotation with rice for 1 year can already be effective. (6) Remove diseased plants promptly when found and burn them in a centralized manner or bury them deeply. (7) In the early stage of disease, spray promptly with 30% Luyedan wettable powder at 800 times dilution, or 50% benomyl wettable powder at 1500 times dilution, or 40% Shuangxiaoling aqueous solution at 800 times dilution, or 50% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder at 500 times dilution. </p>

Five Key Points for Late-Stage Sweet Potato Management to Ensure a Bumper Harvest
After late August, summer sweet potatoes enter the critical period of tuber expansion. At this time, management should be strengthened. On one hand, the nutrients needed for tuber expansion should be met to the greatest extent possible; on the other hand, premature senescence of stems and leaves should be prevented, photosynthesis should be enhanced, and nutrient accumulation should be increased. Specific yield-boosting technical recommendations are as follows

How to Prevent and Control Sweet Potato Stem Nematode Disease? Detailed Technical Methods
Sweet potato stem nematode disease is a devastating disease in sweet potato production. It is highly destructive and spreads quickly. It can infect and cause damage during the seedbed stage, field stage, and storage stage, but it mainly infects the tubers. Affected sweet potatoes have brown, bluish skin with cracked patterns, and the tubers are light. Some tubers show no external abnormalities, but are hollow and pithy inside. This disease not only affects the quality of sweet potatoes, but also severely affects sweet potato yield.

Integrated Control of Diseases, Pests and Weeds in Pollution-Free Sweet Potato Cultivation
(1) Carefully select seed tubers. Choose tuber pieces free of disease, insects and injuries as seed tubers. (2) Chemical treatment of seed tubers (omitted). (3) Storage cellar management. Store the seed tubers in a sterile cellar; preferably use a new cellar. If an old cellar is used, first scrape off the cellar walls, then fumigate with 15 g of sulfur per sq m. After the tubers

How to prevent sweet potato storage diseases? These methods are very practical
Safe storage of fresh-eating sweet potatoes over winter and off-season sales bring potato farmers relatively high economic benefits. In the sweet potato-producing areas on the outskirts of Beijing, storing sweet potatoes has become fashionable. Fresh potatoes are large in volume, high in water content, tender in tissue, and thin-skinned, easily damaged, susceptible to chilling injury and disease infection, which leads to rot
