Abstract: nfection frequency, lesion size, sporulation capacity, and aggressive fitness of 18 isolates of Phytophthorainf estans from potato in potato production areas and 18 isolates of P. inf estans from tomato in tomato production area weretested using three potato and three tomato varieties on the detached leaflets. The result showed that isolates from potatohad higher infection frequency, larger lesion size, stronger sporulation capacity, and more aggressive fitness than those frompotato and isolates from tomato had also higher infect ion frequency, larger lesion size, stronger sporulation capacity, andmore aggressive fitness than those from tomato,which indicating host specificity of Chinese isolates of Phytophthora inf estans.

Key words: Phytophthora inf estans, Epidemiology, Aggressive fitness, Pathogenicity
