    Potato blight, also known as late blight, is a plant disease caused by the fungus-like organism Phytophthora infestans. It primarily affects potatoes, but can also infect other members of the Solanaceae family like tomatoes. The disease presents as dark, damp patches on leaves, stems, and the actual potatoes, often leading to the rotting of the plant. Potato blight was responsible for the Irish potato famine in the mid-19th century.
