“…In the United Kingdom and France, 93 % and 94 % of the isolates of R. solani characterized from potato belonged to AG3, respectively. The remaining isolates were of AG2-1 or AG5 (Campion et al 2003, Woodhall et al 2007. Similar results indicating predominance of AG3 and occasional occurrence of other AGs have been reported from many other countries including Ireland (Chand and Logan 1983), Alaska ), Canada (Bains and Bisth 1995), USA (Bandy et al 1984(Bandy et al , 1988, Peru (Anquiz and Martin 1989), South Africa (Truter and Wehner 2004), China (Chang and Tu 1980), Japan (Abe and Tsuboki 1978), and Australia (Balali et al 1995).…”
