OUTLINE
Potato production in Turkey
Seed potato production system in Turkey
Current situation of Stolbur phytoplasma in
Turkey
-
Seed potato production areas
Total potato production area is ~145.000 ha
-
Production:
~ 5 million tone
-
Seed potato production of Turkey
Seed potatoes are imported from different countries in Turkey. High Category Seed Potato Production on a commercial scale has
just started in our country. Two government potato research institutes and private companies
produce seed potatoes by using tissue culture and minitubertechnology.
-
Seed potato certification application is carried outaccording to the “Regulation on the Marketing andCertification of Seed Potatoes”.

Seed potato production of Turkey
-
Soil Control
Before the production 1 soil sample per ha is taken byofficial inspector, then send to the laboratories. If anyharmful organism is found, production applications ofprivate companies are rejected by the Ministry.
-
Field Control
During the growing period visual inspection is done by officialinspector from the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock.Suspected samples send to laboratory for analysis. If the sample isinfested with quarantine organisms, the production is stopped. Thearea is taken under quarantine.
-
Lot Control
200 tuber per 10 da taken by official inspector analyses in Official
Laboratories
Visual observation for quality organisms
Laboratory testing for quarantine organisms

First record of Stolbur was on tomato in Ankara province in 1953
First detection of Stolbur based on molecular methods was done on
potato in 2010
First record of Stolbur was on potato in Bolu and Sakarya provinces in 1965
First detection of stolbur based on molecular methods was done on tomato in 2008

In recently, stolbur phytoplasma have become increasingly important in potato production areas.
Plants with symptoms similar phytoplasma sent to the laboratories also have become increasingly important.
Stolbur phytoplasma: we know its occurrance in Turkey.
What about the situation of other phytoplasma diseases on potato?
-
New project:
We are starting a new project about the phytoplasma diseases of potato in Central Anatolia in 2013.
