Trends in weather variables and concentrations of airborne conidia of Alternaria solani were monitored in a potato field in South Africa during three potato-growing seasons in 2001 and 2002. Distinct seasonal variation was noted, with a drop in spore numbers during winter. Peaks in spore concentration coincided with periods favorable for spore formation and dispersal; most notable was the effect of interrupted wetting periods. Diurnal periodicity of spore dispersal was also observed, with the peak of spore concentrations between 9h00 and 18h00. Few spores were sampled at night, when wind velocity and temperature are lowest and relative humidity is highest. Increased numbers of spores were sampled during days of harvesting or when other ground-operated farm equipment was used. The results obtained in this study will be useful in establishing decision support systems to control early blight on potatoes in southern Africa.
