N2  - Potato represents one of the most important vegetable crops in family Solanaceae. Several fungal diseases attack the foliage system of potato plants during all growth stages. Late blight caused by Phytopthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary and early blight caused by Alternaria solani (Ell. and Mart) Jones and Grout, as well as gray mould incited by Botrytis cinerea Person are considered the most destructive potato foliar diseases. Three potato varieties (Dimont, Nicola and Spunta) were found to be susceptible to the three foliage diseases in Sharkyia, Behera or in Qalubyia governorates. Behera was the most favourable governorate for the appearance of all the investigated diseases
