Phytophtora is a fungus initially attacks stems and leaves, causing grey-green blotches to appear, which later turn brown. It spreads via spores, which produce germ tubes to penetrate the plant tissue. Phytophthora is washed into the soil by rain, where it also infects the tubers. A single infected tuber is enough to destroy an entire crop.
