Popis: An overview is given on the history of vine killing meant to reduce virus transmission to potato seed tubers. With mechanical harvesting, problems arise with respect to skin damage and pathogens, which strongly develop on the decaying vines and roots, such asRhizoctonia solani, Phoma exigua var.foveata andErwinia spp. Green-crop-harvesting (GCH), a recently developed fully mechanical vine killing method, is marked by vine destruction, lifting tubers, placing them on a soil bed followed by covering them with soil and an in situ healing period of at least ten days in the newly formed ridges.
