Potato common scab is an important plant disease that occurs in many potato growing regions in Canada. The disease is characterized by superficial or raised corky-like lesions that form on the surface of the potato tuber. These lesions affect the marketability of the potato crop leading to significant economic losses for potato growers. In 2002, the total economic loss to potato scab in Canada was estimated to be between $15-17 million dollars, highlighting the importance of this disease to the Canadian potato industry and the economy as a whole.

马铃薯赤霉病是一种重要的植物病害，在加拿大许多马铃薯产区都有发生。这种病的特点是在马铃薯块茎表面形成浅的或凸起的软木塞状损伤。这些病害影响了马铃薯作物的适销性，给马铃薯种植者带来了巨大的经济损失。2002年，加拿大马铃薯赤霉病造成的总经济损失估计在1,500-1,700万美元之间，突显了这种疾病对加拿大马铃薯产业和整个经济的重要性。
