Synchytrium endobioticum was first detected in Turkey in 2003, in two areas remote from each other: two potato fields at Ordu and Giresun in the Black Sea region and adjacent potato fields at Nevşehir and Niğde in Central Anatolia. After an extensive survey carried out in the whole potato‐growing areas of Turkey, the disease was found only in these places. The disease was present in areas of 1999.7, 54.2, 9.2 and 1.5 ha in Nevşehir, Niğde, Ordu and Giresun provinces respectively in 2004. This comprises 1.8% of the total potato‐growing area.
