What is recorded here?
Compared inoculated potato plants with uninoculated controls under blight-favouring conditions, supporting the fungus as the cause rather than a by-product of diseased tissue.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The 1861 book’s identity is directly archived; the experimental description is supported by the American Phytopathological Society history because the key original pages were not directly read. Berkeley and Montagne retain prior observation and naming roles.
