Composition pathogenic fungi potato (Solanum tuberosum) is discussed in this article. 50 species of microbiota fully identified. Also, 11 species of fungi involved in the formation of the consortium on tuber potato plants were identified. Long-term (1985-2015) monitoring showed that the destructive pathogen potato late blight is what causes the most damage and economic losses. favorable and unfavorable weather conditions and the development of its distribution was found. Experiments have shown that widespread rot of potato is significantly different from other types of fungi in the aggressiveness and severity. He can completely destroy all the varieties of potato plants in some localities within 5-6 days.
