The pan-European Concerted Action on late blight 'Eucablight' was set up and launched in 2003, with the aim of providing tools for investigating variation in both the host and the pathogen.Objectives include the construction of a database, (www.Eucablight.org)containing information on past and current potato cultivars and late blight populations available in the participating countries, and the design, testing and recommendation of protocols for testing host resistance and pathogen diversity.The database is structured, and made accessible, in such a way that DSS builders can access the model parameters they need to construct locally adapted forecasting systems.
