The effects of cumulative solar irradiance and rainfall on incidence of potato late blight (caused by Phytophthora infestans) in the Columbia Basin of south-central Washington and north-central Oregon were investigated using meteorological data collected near Othello, WA from 1990 through 2007 and Prosser, WA from 1990 through 2006. An association between solar irradiance and seasonal differences in late blight epidemics has not been quantitatively determined. Incidence of late blight in the Columbia Basin significantly increased as cumulative solar irradiance decreased during 1 April to 31 July and 1 June to 31 July at both Othello and Prosser. Incidence of late blight also increased as number of rainy days increased during 1 April to 31 July at Othello and Prosser and from 1 June to 31 July at Prosser. Coefficients of determination for significant models on late bight incidence ranged from 0.28 to 0.43 for cumulative solar irradiance and 0.27 to 0.38 for number of rainy days. Late blight incidence significantly increased as day of the year for first occurrence of late blight decreased in the Columbia Basin. A multiple regression model that included cumulative solar irradiance from 1 June to 31 July at Prosser and day of year for first occurrence of late blight as independent variables accounted for 58percent of the variation for late blight incidence (adjusted R 2 = 0.58), and a model that included number of cloudy days without rain combined with number of rainy days accounted for 62percent of the variation for late blight incidence. This is the first report demonstrating a quantitative association of solar irradiance and incidence of late blight in commercial potato fields. © 2009 The American Phytopathological Society.
