Abstract: The White Potato development programme in St. Kitts has progressed at an exceptionally rapid rate, with the annual production increasing 16 fold over six years. The yields too have increased significantly, and new disease problems have also surfaced. Fusarium Wilt (Fusarium solani (Martius) Sacc.) was observed island-wide in february 1992 with a 14% incidence in surveyed fields. Details of the survey and laboratory findings, along with a managament strategy for Fusarium diseases are discussed.
