Why do potatoes have wart like surface?
It sounds like you have potato scab. This disease is spread by a soil-bourne organism which is common throughout the world. The best way to control it is to rotate your root crops to different areas of the garden, to break the cycle of the disease. You can also purchase starter potatoes that are scab resistant from a certified source. Never use potatoes from your own harvest as starters for next year. You can also keep the soil reasonably wet for a few weeks while the tubers are beginning to form, and avoid any fertilizer that tends to make the soil more alkaline. Stay away from manure as a fertilizer.
What causes garden potatoes to go scabby?
What is potato scab?Common Scab of potatoes is a bacterial disease. Symptoms include tan to dark brown, rough-textured lesions on the tuber surface. Scab is typically introduced into the soil by infected tubers, and will survive indefinitely in the soil. Common scab is most severe in warm, quick-drying soils and increases through a pH range of 5.2 to 8.0. What is the economic impact of potato scab?Common Scab is a cosmetic disease, with no effect on yield. Scab is more of a problem in table potatoes than in processing potatoes, as scab lesions are restricted to the tuber surface and peeling removes the problem. Severe scab can reduce the quantity of useable product, as more peeling is required. Will soil amendments reduce scab incidence and severity?It is theoretically possible to adjust soil pH to outside the pathogen's preferred range. In reality, the quantity of amendment required to accomplish a change in pH is considerable and cost prohibitive. If the necessary adjustments were accomplished, the potato crop itself would be outside of its preferred range and yields may suffer. What can I do to control scab?Scab cannot be eliminated but incidence and severity can be reduced through a combination of practices. * Avoid introducing scab into soil by planting scab-free or treated seed. * Rotate to other crops for 3-4 years between potato crops. * Avoid susceptible crops in the rotation (root crops). * Green manuring (rye, millet, oat) has been reported to reduce the incidence of scab. * Maintain adequate soil moisture during the time of tuber formation and growth (tuber initiation starts 4-6 weeks after planting). * Plant more resistant cultivars. What cultivars of potato are less likely to develop scab?No cultivar of potato is resistant to common scab.

What does skin look like after a scab?

What is the difference between a scab and a virus?
A scab is a dried-up, crusty patch of dead skin on any part of your body on the skin. A virus is completely different from a scab, because a virus is what messes up computers, or carries colds and other diseases (diseases like the flu, the common cold, etc.) that affect human health. Though, the only way in which a scab and virus are related is that if the scab is scratched off, or there is an open spot in the scab, a virus could enter the body through the scab.
