Many potato diseases have a clear relationship with meteorological conditions, this is obvious to most people outside and certainly within agriculture. To give just one example the potato disease, Phytophthora infestans, Irish farmers have known since 1845 what disastrous consequences it has had! In barely five years, Ireland’s population had halved, of the four million Irish in 1845, one million had died over the years (1845 – 1850) and one million Irish had emigra­ted to the United States, among other places.
